Wow, thanks for the link. I'm hooked, it is a really compelling article.

Was Easter the perpetrators name? (If so, she should do more than change her name!)

In the victim's favor? You would be surprised, usually it would go the opposite way.

My take away from the story:

Lawyers be cra-Cra.

Dammit man! That is so true.

Yes, they're so lucky they got to serve jail time. What luck.

Beats getting shot!

I'm up the road in Los Angeles, and let me tell you, even though we are in an affluent neighborhood, you'd never get that kind of police work here. We all hire our own "police" (private companies) because LAPD doesn't even have ONE car in our town. I'm not faulting the LAPD; I'm faulting the allocation of resources here; LA is run so differently than Orange County (OC).

I love how the LA Times makes out Irvine to be so boring and shallow. Why shouldn't people gravitate to a place where they feel protected? And looking at the police work done in this situation, clearly they ARE being protected.

The plant was too overboard. A few grams of cocaine and a a dozen unprescribed pain pills would have been far less suspicious.

Sort of. They're both correct. The police did give her the benefit of the doubt, but probably because she was white (and rich)

From the article itself:

Duff [the prosecutor] considered the possibilities. In so many places, he thought, it would have gone differently. If the attempted frame-up had happened in one of the gang neighborhoods of Los Angeles where he used to prosecute shootings, rather than in a rich, placid city in Orange County ... if the cop who found the stash of drugs in Kelli Peters’ car had been a rookie, rather than a sharp-eyed veteran … if she had been slightly less believable...

Holy shit I just got to the part where the police discover the mom (one half of the lawyer couple who planted the drugs) was having an affair with a firefighter!

This is a must-read article.

Poor reading comprehension. She's not rich at all.

Try again.
