LITTLE ROCK, Ark.—A former top aide to Bill Clinton, charged with trying to smuggle contraband to a death-row inmate, will ask a state court to allow a videotaped deposition of the man before he is executed.
The request, to be made Wednesday in Pine Bluff, is the latest twist in the case of Betsey Wright, an outspoken death-penalty opponent accused of trying to take tattoo needles tucked inside a bag of Doritos chips, as well as a pocketknife and a box cutter, into a high-security prison.
The videotaped deposition is necessary because her trial is set for May 25, several weeks after inmate Don William Davis is scheduled to be executed for a 1990 murder, said her lawyer, Jeff Rosenzweig. The defense said it believes Mr. Davis would testify that he didn't expect Ms. Wright to bring him anything during the visit.

Just because he didn’t expect her to bring him contraband, how would that help in her defense? She was still wrong. Go to jail Betsey.
As with most liberals...any laws, any rules just don’t apply to them when their desires and purposes are more important.

Wow from managing “Bimbo Eruptions” for POTUS to backing cakes with files in them. My how the mighty have fallen.
Guilty. Definitely guilty. As guilty as sinning on Sunday.
woww... she resembles the beast that pres. zero was hyping up in St Louis the other day!
He’ll swear to anything that helps the person who tried to help him. No skin off his nose.
Is she claiming she was carrying those articles into a high security prison area because:
a) Your Honor, I always carry a box cutter and a knife inside my doctored up Dorito bag.
b) Silly me, I forgot to leave the doctored Dorito bag at home.
Her whole defense seems to be unsubstantiated unbelievability, by which I mean BS piled upon BS, heaped upon BS.
Or more succintly, B as in B, S as in S.
Must have gone to the Sandy Berger school of smuggling.
What kind of pen has tweezers in it?
BTW, the only time I watch MSNBC is the prison documentaries. Any piece of stainless steel is very valuable and can be turned into a weapon.
Sure it is, but she learned at the feet of the Master of Mendacity.
Wright served as Clinton’s chief of staff and during his 1992 presidential campaign.
Betsey Ross Wright is an American lobbyist, activist, and political consultant who worked more than a decade for Bill Clinton in Arkansas. She served as chief of staff to Governor Clinton for seven years. As deputy chair of the 1992 Clinton presidential campaign, Wright established the rapid response system that was responsible for defending Clinton’s record in Arkansas and promptly answering all personal attacks on the candidate. She coined the term “bimbo eruptions” to describe Clinton’s series of extramarital affairs which were coming to light at the time. In the 1990s, Wright was an executive for *The Wexler Group, a lobbying firm in Washington, D.C. She currently resides in Rogers, Arkansas.
She was arrested for trying to smuggle a knife and 48 tattoo needles stashed in a bag of Doritos onto the state’s death row
*The Wexler Group
It was founded by Anne Wexler and others in 1981. Wexler was an assistant to President Jimmy Carter for Public Liaison.
Bimbo alert
Ping to you dear Rosie. I know you’d appreciate seeing this and remember the good ole days. 8D
Lots of Democrats are criminals. Clinton was one of them. It makes sense that he would have this criminal working for him.
Nothing has changed. Look at the legal problems Obama’s proposed advisors had. Consider Rangel and the homosexual nut who just resigned. The list can go on and on.
As hypocritical and criminal as Republicans can be, they don’t hold a candle to Democrats.
