Mark Carroll's Journal

Served once in a drug case that was partially a frame-up: defendant was black, and was dating the lead detective's sister and he did not approve! There's no doubt that the guy was selling drugs, we just wonder of the likelihood that he would have been investigated so hard had not the detective had an interest in the relationship.

I was called when the Covid lockdowns were easing, neither my wife nor I thought it a good idea for me to be in such an environment so my immunologist sent a letter that got me out of it.
