Война с наркотиками

The New Republic -- On May 7, the Tallahassee police made Hoffman an offer. She would be given “leniency” in her prosecution if she agreed to wear a wire and set up a sting deal for the vice unit squad’s investigation of her suppliers. Hoffman was not given a chance to seek counsel from her attorney, family, or friends when the offer was made, and no one was notified when she agreed to take $13,000 in cash to purchase 1,500 ecstasy pills, two ounces of cocaine, and a handgun—far more than she had ever bought before. Two days later, Hoffman’s dead body surfaced.
