NUance Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 Correct, But......what if she didn't do it? The facts around the arrest sound extremely fishy. Yea, sounds a bit sketchy to me. "Oh, hey, we found this 12 pounds of marijuana under your public bus seat. No way anyone other than you could have put it there..." Yeah, whenever I smuggle 12 pounds of bud in from Mexico I always stash it under my bus seat. I mean, who would look there? But when I'm going for several hundred pounds I press it into large sheets and construct a van out of it. Link to comment

scarletNcream Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 At a court hearing Wednesday, her attorney, Jose Francisco Benitze Paz, said the smuggling effort was fairly sophisticated and would have been impossible to pull off for someone like Maldonado. "I know this would be too much for a SEC fan to handle", President Gordan Gee said. Link to comment
knapplc Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 She's free and back in America now. It's stupid she was jailed as long as she was. They could have cleared her and sent her home in less than 24 hours if they would have just done some simple police work. Security camera footage revealed in court Thursday shows Maldonado and her husband boarding a bus in Mexico last week. They are carrying a purse, two blankets and two bottles of water. It's an everyday scene that plays out at bus stations around the world. But in this case, defense attorney Francisco Benitez argued that the images were a crucial piece of evidence. Why? Because nothing they're carrying, he said, could hold the amount of marijuana that Maldonado was accused of smuggling. Video footage suggests that someone else brought the marijuana aboard the bus, the lawyer said. Packages of the illegal substance allegedly recovered from under Maldonado's seat would not have fit in her purse, Benitez said. LINK Link to comment
StPaulHusker Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 Nice looking lady. Be a shame to keep her locked up too long. Link to comment
strigori Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 Mexican law enforcement is not exactly known for its integrity. You do see the State Department get involved now and then on things, but if an American abroad is still subject to the laws of whatever land they are in, even if we think the laws are several levels beyond stupid.

husker_99 Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 actually Mexico should be lenient with Americans since we almost turn a blind eye to millions of illegal aliens from Mexico come into our country every day. 1 Link to comment
