Marijuana Kills

[Lestat]

that is a different matter, unrelated, imo, to weed.
the article makes it seem like a casual weed head was gunned down in the streets strictly cause she smoked 'erb

I didn't get that out of it.

she was busted for a minor crime, coerced into getting into something deep, paid ultimate price.

there is nothing illegal about making a perp become an informant. unethical, maybe...but not illegal.

they just put the bait out there and she took it.

the real crime here was that an american, especially one who was selling drugs, didn't have a basic understanding of her constitutional rights.

what the cops did, in this case, was illegal.

according to whom?

on whether or not they should charge her with a crime, that is up to the DA. apparently he had no knowledge of the case...so, in that respect, they fucked up.

asking her to become an informant, on the other hand, is not illegal.

and again, 6 ounces isn't exactly a small amount....and it isn't a large amount, either. however, it is more than enough to be considered distribution...and we're not even talking about the ecstasy she had on her.

6 ounces = 48 1/8th's...definitely not for personal use.

The cops didn't follow protocol for turing someone into an undercover informant. I am sure you agree this sort of thing carries a great deal of risk with it, and two police officers and their zealous seargant can't make the decision to do such a thing, let alone carry it all out on their own. The FBI and CIA trains pretty seriously for this stuff, I know most local precinct don't. Cocaine dealers generally aren't the type to be triffled with, life is expendable, at least to the dealers worth arresting.

This girl had some weed and some x, hardly something to put her life on the line for.

This has nothing to do with marijuana.

So they offered her a trade to do this for a reducation in sentence.

This is nothing new. Mafia members are offered these trades by the Feds all the time.

So could've said no and taken her punishment by a judge.

Do we cry over a mobster who dies in a screwed up undercover bust? Or is this simply because she's a young female? Justice is not supposed to work differently based upon age, sex.

Also she had a shitty lawyer if he allowed her to do this. I sure has hell would nto have agreed to this.

The officers would not let her speak to a lawyer before making her decision.
