Hughes case set for Pre-Trial
For those of you seeking an upate on the case of the state of Michigan vs Jacob and Mary Anne Hughes, please know that this is the information we've just received from the court as to the disposition of their case.
On January 3rd 2019 both defendants Jacob Jay & Mary Anne Hughes were given a "DATE SET FOR PRETRIAL" which is scheduled "ON 01/23/2019 08 30 AM" at the Oakland County, Michigan court before Judge O'Brien.
for those of you ony just right now becoming aware of it, the Hughes are a married couple who apparently felt that an easy way around the system when it comes to cannabis was to buy themselves a "blessing" which authorize an credentialed them as a Legitimate "Church". Jake & Mary named their church "ONAC of Metropolitan Detroit" and with ought blessing in hand set out to get their "church" recognized at both the state an federal level. They felt that by hiring an "attorney Team" an too making the team their churches members that surely they would secure their position Above the law an all dictatorship an could do as They saw fit in regards to operating their business without issue - they as are being proven many are Wrong in such concept.
First off, apparently they didn't comprehend that what they had "bought" was a blessing as a "Chapter Of" what woul become their "mother church" - the Oklevueha Native american Church of Spanish Fork, Utah to be precise. What this meant that they in't get meant that they remained under the dictation of ONAC so long as they continued to operate as a church under their bought blessing. When questionable conduct started presenting to ONAC about the Hughes church, the Hughes were quick an confident in taking the position that because their blessing had been fully paid for they could do as they wanted whether ONAC officials condoned it or not - WRONG!
Second the Hughes apparently didn't fathom that ONAC had the right and authority to REVOKE the blessing they had bought as well as to take other discliplinary action against them so long as they remained members of Oklevueha including excommunication which is another action ONAC ultimately did take but not until After the Hughes had already found themselves in a world of legal trouble and a deep pool of various criminal charges, mainly felonies!
As we say, Jacob currently is facing a Dozen criminal counts against him including:
Know that this is NOT Jacob's first go-round with the criminal courts in the state of Michigan for drug dealing, truth is he had just been released from their state Prison in about the mile of 2016 after serving a few year sentence for being caught dealing drugs before, he was just a bigger trafficker by this bust then he was during his last. also too, this time around Jacob didn't actually try to shoot his way away from police either, thankfully, his three minor children who were caught up in the raid at his home would have likely been far more traumatized and endangered then they already were thanks to his greed and lack of consideration for their well-being and safety... an illegal grow operation at that level inside a home where multiple minor children live, WTH - and who puts kids especially such a young one as is his son in the middle of an inter-state drug trafficking headquarters in the firt place? Same one who as you can hear on youtube plans on taking the boy on drug deals with him once he beats this case Or gets paroled yet again from prison, either way doesn't seem to matter to him from what he has to say about it.
His wife and co-defendant "Mary" who by the way separate Her case from her husband Jake's in effort of at least One of them NOT being convicted and sentenced to prison out of the two
