Broward county will vacate convictions for people who bought crack cocaine that the Sheriff’s office made

It’s insane to me that this was allowed to happen, but glad that *some* justice is being effected.

>It was a practice the Florida state Supreme Court repeatedly described as “outrageous” in its 1993 ruling that such reverse-stings violated an individual’s right to due process. **More than 30 years later**, though, a routine audit of documents found hundreds of those arrests and convictions are still on the books and part of people’s criminal records.

Incredible incompetence (or malice, if you’re feeling cynical).
