In interviews, the girl's family has said she is named Genny. Her father, Roger Barbour, a Maple Shade lawyer who died in September of last year, had filed an amicus brief in the case saying declassification of marijuana would allow his daughter to receive her afternoon dose of marijuana from the school nurse.
