NJ Weedman remains jailed as jury renders partial exoneration verdict

TRENTON >> What a drag.

Ed “NJ Weedman” Forchion will remain locked up after his witness tampering trial ended Thursday in a partial verdict that failed to convict him of any crimes.

Forchion, better known as the NJ Weedman, represented himself pro se with technical assistance from a stand-by counsel as he used his layman charms in a semi-successful effort to introduce reasonable doubt into the minds of the jury members.

“Thank you!” Forchion shouted as the jurors left the courtroom Thursday afternoon.
