Woman spent a MONTH in jail because police mistook dried SpaghettiO's residue on a spoon for meth before crime lab tests finally realized their error

Why the hell was she even put in jail before there was ANY evidence against her?

The police, DA, and judge responsible for this false imprisonment should be forced to spend one month in jail and then give this woman 50% of their income for the rest of their lives.

This shit should not be tolerated.

The Facts

Falsely accused: SpaghettiO's lover Ashley Huff, 23, served one month in jail after police confused a spoon with pasta sauce residue as being the drug methamphetamine

Huff had no criminal record prior to her July arrest.

She considered taking a plea deal even though she committed no crime.

'I think what the unfortunate part about her case is that she was probably willing to take the felony to close out her case so that she get out of jail, even though she always maintained innocence,' van Rossem said.

'The Crime Lab report showed no controlled substances on the spoon submitted for testing,' according to a dismissal signed by Northeastern Judicial Circuit District Attorney Lee Darragh.

When innocent persons are coerced into pleading guilty for crimes that no one even committed, it is the court and the police that are criminal.
