That’s what’s so wrong about this, the words she spat out to protect herself could have gotten another innocent person killed. What if the description of the subject was used to detain someone, who then got spooked, ran and was shot? I know it’s a lot of what ifs, but this was all to cover up that she was selling drugs. Let that sink in. Her daughter was dead. She was more worried about the cops finding out the truth about the drugs.
