Informant turns out to be a bit less than reliable...

Story here. A lady spent 16 months in the slammer as a result of an informant cooking up a story about her dealing drugs.

"Using a thinly veiled murder threat is an odd come-on of the sort that would occur only to a psychopath, or perhaps to a government employee (or do I repeat myself?)."

Hey, I was a GS-14, and never once used a death threat as a come-on! Of course, I was married, so I didn't use anything as a come-on line, but if I had, would have found something better.
