"A grandmother found with a trunkful of marijuana was convicted of drug running in what prosecutors said was an attempt to earn cash for a bingo habit." ... "Villareal faces three to 12 years in state prison when she is sentenced Dec. 18."
I believe her! No doubt it was her "first time." Easy to believe mexican granny with a welfare/gambling jones could support herself and her car on $275/mo. It would be easy to trick her into hauling a hundred Kilo/bags of dope across the border - just tell her it's Christmas presents for cousins Lupe, Manuel, Jose, Jesus, Pedro, Maria, Vicente, Carlos...

So it'll still be possible to hang it from a tree limb outside a highschool after you're done with it? Spray-on Condoms! |

"Police and prosecutors are worried that a Web site claiming to identify more than 4,000 informants and undercover agents will cripple investigations and hang targets on witnesses." "The Web site, www.WhosaRat.com, first caught the attention of authorities after a Massachusetts man put it online and named a few dozen people as turncoats in 2004. Since then, it has grown into a clearinghouse for mug shots, court papers and rumors."
So much for the witness protection program, welcome to the internet! You Dirty Rat! |

Over 40 of the children currently behind bars in Colorado have no hope of ever being released. They were sentenced, while still under 18, to life without parole - in violation of international human rights law. The rest of society doesn't realize that we've changed the laws in this country, so that there is no other country that matches it in terms of what we do to our juveniles. None. Zero. In the world.
