So below is a story i came across today, I would love to hear other peoples opinion on this subject.
Hoffman was caught with marijuana and ecstasy in Florida after a raid on her apartment. After threatening her with prison time, the police then gave Hoffman the option of becoming an informantwithout first consulting with her lawyer. They set up a deal with her connection. What happened in between isnt yet clear. But they found her body late last week.
Proving once again that the most dangerous thing about illicit drugs like ecstasy and marijuana isnt the drugs themselves. Its what the government does to you after youre caught with them.
Several of Hoffmans friends and family have emailed me. They say the police told her to set up an a purchase of 1,500 ecstasy pills, two ounces of cocaine, and a gun that would have totaled well more than $10,000. They also say the amount and the inclusion of cocaine and the gun would have been unusual for Hoffman. If true, thats a bush-league move that almost certainly tipped these guys off. The gun, I guess, was so the authorities could hit the dealers with an extra charge of using a gun in the commission of a drug crime, which sends the mandatory minimums through the roof.
The first thing the Tallahassee police did after announcing that theyd found Hoffmans body was blame Hoffman for her own death. They then said they themselves followed all the proper protocols. Pardon my French, but maybe thats a good indication that its time to change the fucking protocols.
Sad as it is to say, maybe the death of a young, pretty, white college girl with a promising future will finally draw some scrutiny to this absurd, shady, under-the-radar business of drug informants. I doubt it. But maybe.
MORE: The article has since been updated. Look like the setup came after the police executed a search warrant on Hoffmans apartment, and found a little over 5 ounces of marijuana, six ecstasy pills, and some paraphernalia. Thats what they threatened her with to get her to turn into an informant. Id imagine the thugs who killed her smelled the set-up from a mile away. The article also notes that not only didnt the police let Hoffmans attorney know they were wiring her up, they didnt even bother to inform the prosecutor.
