Earlier, a jury had found Berke guilty on the same charges; a judge denied his motion for a mistrial. "It's a victory for our church, but it's also a victory for Coloradans who supported cannabis legalization. Its 4/20, so now I get to go home, clean up and celebrate," he said shortly after the verdict was handed down. Even before our motions hearing, the city attorney spent over 100 hours on this case.
