The attorney for a Gainesville man acquitted on charges of growing marijuana said it was much ado over bean sprouts and residue. “There’s a burnt-out piece of residue and a couple of little bean sprouts over there, and they want something out of it,” Senior Public Defender Larry Duttweiler said Thursday in Hall County Superior Court. Brandon Michael Hughey, 29, of Gainesville has been on trial since Tuesday.
