"BISBEE - The attorney for a Douglas grandmother who was found guilty of running drugs wants a judge to overturn the conviction on the grounds that prosecutors discriminated against her for being a U.S. citizen and a resident of Cochise County.

Leticia Villareal Garcia was arrested in early 2005 after Arizona Department of Public Safety officers, acting on a tip from an informant, found 214 pounds of marijuana in a car she was driving to Tucson for a bingo outing. A Superior Court jury convicted the 61-year-old grandmother in November of transporting marijuana for sale, a Class 2 felony punishable by up to 12 1/2 years in prison."

Deputy County Attorney David Pardee was quoted in the story as saying that federal authorities often refer under-500-pound cases to his office, and that they generally involve Mexican nationals or other non-locals ferrying drugs through the county to cities such as Tucson and Phoenix.

The county attorney declines these cases, Pardee said, unless they involve local police agencies or residents."

Is it discriminatory?

Answer 1

You're kidding. lmao. You ARE kidding, right?
But hey, that's not a bad idea for a defense. Why couldn't she get deported to mexico. Then she could sneak back in to the US like all the illegals do. That way she would come back free and clear. Not a bad idea at all.
