they should be ashamed of theirselves wasting their lives like that
What i can’t grasp is that a person has a grest job,with great benefits and puts it all on the line for drugs.It doesn’t mention how the other guy is relateted to her,husband,brother…but there seems to be some co dependent issues going on her..Know who your friends are,know what your family is bringing into your house….you are known by the company you keep…
“…Carter was employed as a corrections officer at Century Correctional Institution prior to her arrest…”
Now she is an unemployment statistic as well as being an accused drug possessing person.
Sad.
Perhaps a little rehab might be in order if found guilty.
