You brought up the meth labs twice in your slam, boldfaced both times. I understand from other accounts that this was a false accusation that never re-emerged after the dust settled.
If it were true, it would have been prosecuted. This would have been a highly damning fact, and would have justified an extremely severe sentence as far as I am concerned.
Do you really think the prosecutors would have ignored that in their indictment?
If the price was right, yes.
