Brilliant. Blame it on conservatisim
Instead of squarely where it belongs. The criminal.
Class lib-think.
As a liberal, I don't think she should be in prison costing tens of thousands of tax dollars. What, you, as a "conservative" think? Who pays for her time? Prison just may be the next big business opportunity.
Yes you can. It's quite easy. All you have to do is say "not guilty".
Or better yet, quit wasting the taxpayers money by sending the cops out to bust these tiny pot selling deals.
She was dealing drugs and involving her kids in the process. I have been pro-marijuana for many years but I feel she was putting her kids in potentially dangerous situations.
I
Was she caught selling drugs to other people as well, or just the "undercover officer"? I believe that when a police officer approaches you and requests that you break a law, that is entrapment, and we shouldn't allow it in this country. Catch the criminals don't create them.
Drugs laws always have been and continue to be unconstitutional. Interstate commerce clause, what a load of BS.
You are correct! We should fire those cops, or at least tell them to go after real criminals.
But no, they like the easy job of busting a mom for a $31 sale.
"Oklahoma's two prisons for women — the maximum-security Mabel Bassett in McLoud and minimum-security Eddie Warrior in Taft — housed 2,622 prisoners last year.
Of those, 48 percent are serving time for nonviolent drug offenses and 22 percent for other nonviolent offenses such as embezzlement and forgery.
Of the 1,393 women received by Oklahoma prisons last year, 78 percent were identified by DOC as minimal public safety threats."
Talk about a society that has its priorities all jacked up. The new governor wants to cut education funding. Wow.
