if you read the story you'll see that she sold crack and marijuana to an undercover cop - at her son's birthday party.

"This case is about the convictions for the sale of narcotics to an undercover police officer," the judge said. "I think you understand that because that is really the essence of what has gotten you into the predicament you find yourself today."


"...Tuesday's hearing ended a highly charged case that put a spotlight on the city's beleaguered school system and cries for changes in state legislation that makes it illegal for parents to send their children to schools in towns where they are not residents.

But support for McDowell dropped off after she was arrested by Bridgeport police in June and charged with selling marijuana and crack cocaine on two occasions to an undercover police officer outside her Dover Street home. Police said McDowell even interrupted her 6-year-old son's birthday to sell the drugs."



in other words, if the headline read "Italian businessman convicted of Tax Evasion for making a living" and you found out it was Al Capone they were talking about you'd feel like you got hoodwinked.


the big question is, 'why did the media lie in the headline?'


the answer is, 'they are trying to tell a story of privilege and division because they think it helps.'

Are you saying the media intentionally distorts stories to advance an agenda? Color me shocked!

Netflix just released a documentary about this scandal. Fucking crazy story. The whole thing is nuts and the system needs to be changed.
