(Barry Donegan) “Uh oh, SpaghettiOs.” 23-year-old Gainesville, Georgia woman Ashley Gabrielle Huff was released from Hall County Jail on Thursday September 18 after residue, found on a spoon in a car in which she was a passenger, tested positive for SpaghettiOs, rather than crystal meth. According to Gainesville Times, she was arrested on July 2 by the Gainesville Police Department on felony meth possession charges when the encrusted spoon was found, as officers believed the dried spaghetti sauce to be residual meth particles. She maintained her innocence from the beginning, pointing out immediately that the spoon had been used for its intended purpose — eating food, rather than as drug paraphernalia.
My Commentary: 47 days that can never be replaced… Absolutely criminal!

Six L.A. County Sheriff Workers Get Prison for Obstructing Jail Probe:

(Victoria Kim, Los Angeles Times) A federal judge on Tuesday lambasted what he called a “corrupt culture” within the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department as he sentenced six current and former members of the department to prison for obstructing a federal investigation into abuse and corruption at the county jails.
U.S. District Judge Percy Anderson said evidence showed there were “significant problems” within the department, including an “us-versus-them mentality,” routine cover-up of inmate abuse, and an “unwritten code” taught to new jail deputies that any inmate who fought a guard should end up in the hospital.
My Commentary: According to the article, “jurors convicted the sheriff’s officials this year of conspiring to impede a grand jury investigation by keeping an inmate informant hidden from his FBI handlers, dissuading witnesses from cooperating and trying to intimidate a federal agent.”
Even the mainstream media monopoly is starting to stray from the script. Ten years ago, the headline for this sort would have read something like this…
“Conspiracy Kooks Infiltrate Jury Pool in Cop Case and Toss Local Heroes into Jail, Prompting Public Outcry for State Reforms to Juror Laws”
