Sanford

Defendants Bill Warren and Cathy L. Sanford were convicted, after a jury trial, of unlawful possession of marijuana (former Health & Saf. Code, § 11357). Defendant Bill Sanford was also convicted of two counts of sale of marijuana (Health & Saf. Code, § 11360, subd. (a)). Each defendant appeals from an order granting probation.
