Im sorry, I am one of the defendants. Im not making an excuse that drugs are not a problem in this town but not everyone on this list are drug dealers. Ive had a past, yes, but I ve also been clean for going on five years and ive paid my dues to the city and county for it. But since I am one of the accused that is innocent of this crime, I would just like to say "WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND!!!"
