Allegations of tampering with witnesses have been raised during the ongoing lawsuit and investigations against medical cannabis petitions in Nebraska. The Nebraska Attorney General’s Office, representing Secretary of State Bob Evnen, denied any wrongdoing at a pretrial hearing with Judge Susan Strong in Lancaster County District Court.

Pretrial Hearing Outcome and Trial Phases

Judge Strong divided the trial into two phases, with the first phase scheduled to start on October 29, preceding the November election. The trial aims to determine the validity of petition signatures for medical cannabis legalization in Nebraska. Attorney Sydney Hayes, representing the ballot sponsors, expressed concerns about delays in receiving evidence from the Attorney General’s Office, attributing it to potential unfairness in the trial process.
