Anna Nicole Judge Cited for Pot in ParkMar 20, 7:10 AM EST

The Associated Press
HOLLYWOOD, Fla. -- A judge who had a secondary role in the recent Anna Nicole Smith proceedings was charged with smoking marijuana in a city park, police said Monday.
Lawrence Korda was smoking marijuana while sitting under a tree Sunday, police said. Three officers who were training there saw Korda and field-tested the cigarette, meaning taking a few drags each, said Capt. Tony Rode, a police spokesman who also added "Man, I'm stoned!".

The judge was not arrested but was given a misdemeanor citation to appear in court.
"Judge Korda was not given special treatment because of his status as a circuit court judge," Rode said. "He was given special treatment because he is involved with a celebrity court case. That's exactly what 99 percent of other celebrity-related offenders would have been given for this type of offense."

HA! It would be nice if it were legal for the REST of us non-celebrities to smoke pot though.

Field testing? I'm going to have to use that term more. "Yes officer, I was just field testing the Lamborghini to see if it really did go 227mph..."
