After a yearslong battle to avoid extradition, Canada's so-called Prince of Pot was brought Thursday to Seattle, where he is expected to plead guilty to a charge that he sold millions of marijuana seeds to U.S. customers. Marc Emery claimed to have made $3 million a year before his arrest in 2005, when a Seattle grand jury indicted him on marijuana conspiracy and money-laundering charges. Emery is expected to plead guilty to one count of conspiracy to manufacture marijuana in exchange for a sentence of five years in prison.
