I would be more concerned with the carjackers, home invaders, murderers, thieves etc. before I would care about some guy/gal taking a pain pill. Legalize marijuana and people would stop with the pills in the first place.

goes to show you, people that makes big money are greety and want more.It might be a group of people not just one person.If that was a regular person they woudnt be getting time off with pay.oh well the prsoners ae laughing now going out the door. there are no jobs here so people has to do something for a living.

“Your honor, my indigent client was charged with drug trafficking when he was found in his $60,000 car with $100,000 cash and $20,000 worth of guns but a retest of the ‘drugs’ has determined they are Chicklets. Therefore, i ask you to overthrow the conviction and the original charges.”

“The container still tested positive for having held the original drugs and the Chicklers were known to have been substituted in other instances for just such drugs, so request denied.”

Jane– read the article again. The problem may be with a FDLE lab worker. I’m the first to complain about lawyers and some judges but this does not appear to be them this time. Over the years ‘things” have disappeared from the evidence rooms at lab’s and departmental evidence rooms. Guns, drugs and other property. Where there is a desire to misuse a persons position and steal they will find a way. Book keepers who play with the company books and cause the business to have to close, “trusted” employee who steal and on and on.

Now they will put the druggies back out on the streets, after all our law enforcement people have gone through to keep us safe. And the wonder why we don’t trust lawyers or our judicial system.
