    This one seems like someone planted her with the drugs to silence her permanently, hopefully that’s the case and the appeal goes through

      I guess only 4.67% of 492 death penalty sentences last year got killed. Seems appealing wins 95% of the cases.

        That’s a hard pass for me. I rather live in a peaceful society where people help eachother… LOL. I’m blind to irony.

      There was more than just drug. They had a chemical lab, documented network to import chemical precursors, guns, cash, etc.

    Weird, ran into a paywall, not used to seeing one from the BBC. Found an archive link though.

      They were importing precursors to make Powder, a synthetic cannabis like product.
