Episode notes

In two thousand 14, a woman was pulled over by myrtle beach police. They found a small amount of marawana in her car. She was given the option to avoid charges if she told them where she got the mariuana. As one officer later put it, "She says she did know someone, but she didn't know his full name"

“I didn’t do what they said I did. And it was like, I don’t know how to disprove the police. I mean, it’s my word against theirs. I don’t really stand a chance.”

In 2015, the 15th Circuit Drug Enforcement Unit in South Carolina gave a confidential informant $100 to buy marijuana from Julian Betton. And then they broke down his door. Officers David Belue, Chris Dennis, and Frank Waddell shot at Julian an estimated 29 times.

We speak with Julian Betton and Jonny McCoy.
