=v= The defense argues that the pot and money were planted in the vehicle, possibly by the police. You must be joking but if not I'll wish the defense good luck with that argument. =v= I don't know any deatils, but this sentence was in the Associated Press wire story: | In court Thursday, public defender Tim Austin said the drugs | and money were planted in Giove's truck, possibly by police. =v= There was supposedly "more than" 200lbs found in her truck, and "more than" 150lbs found in a house that the truck stopped at, so the "400lbs" headline seems to come from adding those two numbers and rounding up. * * _Jym_ OF COURSE he has to suggest the dollars and dope were planted! What would you expect a defense attorney to say, "My client is guilty."? Google "Anthony Abbate" and/or "Peter Hickey" or just go to suntimes.com and search there. When Pete defended Abbate he stated in court that the video showing Abbate (a 200lb + drunken male) punching a 100 lb female bartender who'd refused to serve him more liquor clearly showed that Abbate was defending himself from her attack. That's why a judge's instructions to a jury always includes the caveat, "Statements by counsel, whether prosecution or defense, are *NOT* evidence or testimony.", even when the statements are made, like the statement by Austin, in court. In the present case though let's assume that the money and weed *were* planted. Who hated Missy and her codefendant so much they framed them with nearly 400 lbs of weed and over a million bucks in cash? That seems a rather extreme price to pay to "get" somebody, wouldn't you say? Regards, Bob |
