I sat on a federal jury in Vegas about 4 years ago where the guy was charged with possession with intent to distribute. He had a Snapple bottle full of PCP. We found him guilty, but couldn't figure out why it was a federal case. Found out after the verdict was handed down that this fellow had already been convicted of SS fraud, among other things. This was in Vegas. I know when I was a teenager, PCP laced weed was quite popular (NOT WITH ME!!!). Ironically, that was the reason I nearly voted not guilty in this case - this guy had no pot or cash in his possession - just the PCP. It came down to why would anyone have this much PCP unless he was going to distribute? Sherman sticks they used to call joints laced with PCP - as I recall. I knew a good bunch of kids who were never right again after they smoked it. I can totally see someone freaking out if they didn't know what they were doing, weren't comfortable in their surroundings or had never done it before. I can also see why Alonzo and LDJ would not have been forthcoming with the information.
Thank you for sharing your story, Fairy. That's interesting.
I have heard of this combination before, often called "embalming fluid" "sherms", "wet" "fry" and probably many, many other slang terms. I can't believe I never considered this as a possibility.. that the joint/blunt may have been laced with something. It makes perfect sense that if a drug like PCP was present in her system that she would do something as reckless as jumping out of a moving vehicle at 75mph.
I have a friend in Apache Junction, Arizona (about 40 miles away from Phoenix) who had experimented with this stuff and drove straight into a light post at a high speed.. seemingly on purpose. But the fact is it truly messes with your ability to make "sane" decisions. He said it literally made him feel like he was Superman. Indestructible. Fortunately, he survived the accident but broke both of his legs.
I'm interested in finding out of the stuff was present in her tox report and will gladly make the call unless someone else wanted to. Good sleuthing!
