She didn't say that there were any federal charges. Anyway, federal prisoners are almost always held in local or county jails until they're convicted. Even then, federal sentences of a few years are often served in state prison facilities.

Wen Ho Lee spent 12 months in the Santa Fe County Jail as a federal prisoner before he pled out. Look it up.

I doubt the charges were federal, anyway. DEA is always part of the local Drug Task Force. Their involvement doesn't mean the charges will have anything to do with a federal court.

Too many people are making false assumptions trying to prove that this story is false.

What i don't understand is why people admit guilt in public here. To me that's the biggest hole in these stories. Why would someone confess to a crime before they're even formally charged? Because they don't have a lawyer? But she said she's spent thousands on lawyers already.

Because they don't know any better? Why? To me that's the only thing strange here.

Of course it can happen. I just don't understand the compulsion to confess to a felony in public.
