In July 2009 Lopez escaped from prison and set fire to the legendary home, which previously housed film stars and served as a movie location. After originally pleading not guilty, the defendant arranged for a plea bargain, assuring him a maximum 8 years in prison and reduced counts of criminal behavior for a guilty plea. Right before sentencing, Lopez again switched his plea to not guilty. [2]\

- March 2000 - This case helped define parameters of Proposition 215, or the Compassionate Use Act of 1996. Myron Mower was convicted of a felony for cultivation of marijuana and a misdemeanor for possession of more than one ounce of marijuana. Among 5 other contentions, the defendant charged that he was allowed complete immunity under the Act due to his diabetes.
