      It’s not the drug marketplace I’m worried about…it’s the attempt to hire a contract killer to kill someone that explains why he should be in jail.

        That’s precisely why I’m shocked. I understand the charge was dismissed during the trial, but due to technicalities rather than ‘this has not happened’. WT actual F.
