Murdered Undercover: A 23-year-old civilian informant in Florida.
Governor Charlie Crist says he’s not ready to push for any changes in the way police use confidential informants, at least not yet. Today Crist responded to the case of Rachel Hoffman a police informant, 23, who was murdered after disappearing during an undercover drug operation in Tallahassee.Hoffman was arrested for using and selling ecstasy and marijuana, and police recruited her to participate in a drug bust as a way to avoid prison time.
But the drug operation targeting two alleged drug dealers went awry and her body was found two days later.

“All indications were she would be a very good choice as a confidential informant, she would follow directions and there would be no issues,” Tallahassee Police spokesman David McCranie said Monday.But police say at the last minute, she changed the location of the meeting with the two men, Andrea J. Green and Deneilo Bradshaw, in a Tallahassee-area park to buy drugs and a gun from them as part of a sting.
The police officer handling the case pleaded with her to call off the meeting, McCranie said. “For whatever reason she did not call it off,” McCranie said. “And that ultimately led to her murder.”
Hoffman’s stepfather, Mike Weiss, told The Tampa Tribune Monday that police should stop falling back on what Hoffman did because she shouldn’t have been put in the position in the first place. “They took a 23-year-old relatively naive person and put her in a life-threatening situation,” Weiss told the newspaper.

Did anybody ever figure out how high that racehorse was with the broken ankles they killed? Just steroids or steroids and amphetamines and painkillers?
Ontario? Displaying cigs in stores is already banned in BC...
So did Josh Feit kill that horse?
IS THAT WHY HE GOT FIRED?
Yesh, why ishn't thish about drunk horshes?
Don't be a jack ass, just post the names of the movies next time please.
and bold them, randomly. like the rest of these posts
I'm sorry, Andy, sometime I just can't help being a jackass. I like to make people do the difficult work of pointing and clicking. Point. Click. Point... Cliiiick... Will the toiling ever end?
For the infirm among us, here are those marijuana movies: Up in Smoke, Fast Times at Ridgemont High, Easy Rider, Dazed and Confused, and Half Baked.
I am shocked that THC is 2nd place in BC's GDP.
Back when I lived there it was number 1.
Legalization has sure kicked the bottom out of the market!
The sampling technique for the Canada poll is lame. Online polls, sheesh. Then again the results show the classic paradox of wanting legalization but also wanting mandatory sentencing for drug dealers and growers. In the past I recall hearing people say a version of this as "I like drugs but I don't like drug dealers."
HHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH...
I knew this girl back in tally... she was the terrable stoneed meeting leader for the fsu chapter of norml...she's bore the hell out of us with her sull stoned "reading" for an hour or two before we could go to the after party
I wish all the dealers I used to know were like the mom on jPod.
Now that would have been fun!
