An Illinois police sheriff who sold marijuana confiscated from drug busts is now sitting in jail awaiting trial. Raymond Martin who had been charged with Federal drug and weapons offenses, now will face murder-for-hire charges too, along with his wife and son who helped with the plot.
It seems Raymond, whose case is coming to court soon, decided the best defense for him would be to "take out" his drug dealing partner and undercover C/S (Confidential Source) who helped rat out cannabis growers. Well the rat is now ratting out Sheriff Martin, who is only one of many law enforcement officers who've been corrupted by the drug war.

So which is worse folks? People growing pot or corrupted LEOs busting people so they can make a profit, and then plotting to kill those who turned them in?
Tired of LEOs making tons of money from busting marijuana grows? Then LEGALIZE IT!
