A San Antonio shooting for you guys to argue...

[JoeChalupa]

I'm saying murder charges don't simply get dropped in exchange for info.

I'm also saying you are an ignorant dumb .

lol judge

Tell that to Sammy "The Bull" Gravano. While he still served some time he cut a damn good deal.

[DMC]

I've been busted before and damn right I was asked to spill the beans on others.

Yeah, but stealing fajitas from Taco Cabana isn't the same as shooting someone. Also, you probably did spill the beans on the way out.

@ Blake

This guy is dumb as dirt...

[Das Texan]

They have had the guy in jail on murder charges for a year and a half.

The Mexican obviously made a deal and rolled on his supplier in exchange for getting the murder charge dropped.

It just took them this long to finish the case and get their arrest and seal the deal.

They traded justice for that innocent black kid for another drug dealer arrest.

death of a black kid < taking down a druglord

at least thats what can be surmised from this chain of events.

smarter than you

[CosmicCowboy]

smarter than you

Actually, I was a national merit semi-finalist and scored 99% on every standardized test I have ever taken.

Did you even graduate from high school?

[FuzzyLumpkins]

I can't believe CC got yall to post enough in this thread to go 9 pages deep. It's an obvious troll job.

WC tries to play the sophist and that is different than trolling.

[Agloco]

Wearing a hoodie today, TBH. Not too scared for my life though.

I'm hiking in the NM foothills today, armed with my new piece. You've been warned.

I have an aversion to skittles too fyi.

Wow, then why are you so stupid in this thread?

Just because I'm intentionally not playing the PC game doesn't make me stupid.

You think I'm playing a pc game?

Dumb .

Dumb .

No, I just think you're a stupid sheep. Baaaaaa

[FuzzyLumpkins]

The thing is that PC is phrasing things such as to not offend people that the term is describing. No one cares if you call them s or spades or es. Well, maybe people are but no one is decrying that in these threads.

What is being questioned is you using race, gender, and sexual preference as a basis to dismiss someones argument. While that too is not PC, it goes above and beyond simply being offensive. it demonstrates a measure of smallmindedness regardless of how well you did on standardized tests. i have to admit i got a chuckle out of that.

[Blake]

No, I just think you're a stupid sheep. Baaaaaa

That makes no sense.

You're a proven dumb though, so no surprise.

I don't use race, gender, or sexual preference to dismiss arguments.

And I could give a what you and blake and the other mini-chumps think.

Y'all are like those rice burners with the big fart mufflers...a lot of noise without the horsepower to back it up.

[Oh, Gee!!]

To answer your question, yes they use confidential informants as well and they aren't always obligated to disclose the CI. For instance:

A drug dealer keeps his stash at X address
The informant tells them about it.
The have a car drive by and notice "su ious activity"
They stake the place out and get video of drugs going in/out.
They take the video to a judge for a search warrant and bust the drug dealer.

Because they corroborated the information from the informant they don't have to disclose the informant because they don't directly use his information at trial.

Ur talking about confidential informants: somebody that gives info to cops. That's different than what I'm referring to, I'm referring to a situation when a person gets a better plea or charges dropped for testifying in court as an eyewitness.

In that case the defendant obviously knows who snitched on him. Duh.

However confidential pleas happen all the time. The example you cut and pasted was a perfect example. Just use "plea bargaining confidential informant" if it makes it easier to understand. They would never get anyone to snitch on the Mexican Mafia if they did it publicly because the snitch would know they would get to him eventually.

Mexican mafia brings in the feds and they have the witness protection gig. An informant was involved that brought down the leaders of the then Juarez cartel back around the turn of the millennium. The subsequent power vacuum was what allowed the power struggle get to what it is/was. i know the judge that tried that case.

that being said you do not want to go to prison anywhere in the southwest with la eme on your ass.

What, pray tell, is a "rice burner"? I think I get the fart muffler part. Interesting passage to say the least CC.

I am not asking for anyone to 'care what i think.' I do not need affirmation.

I do ask though why bring up her sexual orientation and gender as if its relevant? Its not dismiss her argument you claim but that rings hollow.
