""I did not force anybody to come to this state to get a license," Zeneida Concepcion Rivera, 55, pleaded through a Spanish interpreter. "I was not doing business with these people, I was helping them.""
Gosh, other people should try this defense...
"I did not force anybody to come to this state to buy heroin" "I was not doing business with these people, I was helping them."
Hey, that could work!
But U.S. District Judge Thomas Phillips was unconvinced, noting testimony that she charged $1,500 to $2,000 per certificate.
"Quite frankly, I think it is egregious what (Rivera) has done," he said. "She has been making a lot of money from these transactions."
Sooooooooo......he was just peeved that she made money off it? I guess if she had done it out of the goodness of her heart that he would have just let her go.
Sheesh
