Source: Detroit FreePress


The confidential informant in the perjury-tainted cocaine case that led to criminal charges against the prosecutor, judge and police officers hopes to get $100,000 or more for setting up the 2005 drug bust.
Karen Plant, the former head of the Wayne County Prosecutor’s Drug Unit, and former Inkster police officers Robert McAruthur and Scott Rechtzigel face life in prison on charges of conspiracy to commit perjury in the Aceval drug case.
Mary Waterstone, the judge presiding over the trial, is facing five years in prison on charges of misconduct in office.

1. corrupt judges and law enforcement is much more deadly
to society that drugs ever were. They should all get life in prison...but I doubt that will happen. The whole system has just become too corrupt to expect real justice

5. This is why we have to end the drug war.

6. The justice system in this country has never been completely fair........
...........but in especially the last 40 yrs it has progressively gotten divided into two distinct "systems". You have a system that the wealthy can literally get away with murder. A poor or working class person will go to jail for possession of a minimum amount of (any kind)drugs. There are SO many things wrong in the US.
