Evidence Missing in the Jay Smith Case?

Jay Smith, represented by Ean Vizzi, was held to answer in Calaveras Superior Court by Judge James E. Cadle, finding probable cause that Jay Smith of San Andreas committed felony distribution, possession for sales, and cultivation of marijuana charges. His next hearing is June 7 at 9:00 am in Dept 1 before Hon. John E. Martin.

We are still seeking further details on exactly what transpired in the court room.

At this point we have several reports that District Attorney Seth Mathews admitted to the defense that several pieces of evidence, including recordings and photographs in the case were lost. Deputy Steve Avila, the lead investigator in the case admitted such on the stand. It is also reported the Vizzi grilled Avila on his knowledge of the law and his training on the medical marijuana subject and Avilla admitted to having little training and never having read several key pieces of information on the subject, such as the Attorney General's Guidelines on Medical Marijuana.
