Los Angeles, CA—21 year-old
Andrea “Andy” DelVesco was obviously recruited into the Drug War when the UCLA
police arrested her on four felony counts this June.
Police are programed by
prosecutors to automatically give Get Out of Jail Free Cards to low level dealers so they can
take down the upper echelon drug kingpins.
Such was the case with this young Texas, double major coed. She had
little choice but to risk her life and become a snitch.
The complaint filed against
DelVesco with the court contained an appropriate bail bond recommendation of
$120,000.00 to be posted before she could be released from jail.
What that meant is she’d have
to post the entire amount in cash or wait until trial in a jail cell. These
things aren’t quick and that could easily mean she’d spend a year or more
behind bars before her case was tried of plea-bargained.
Most people don’t have that
kind of cash lying around to they must pay a bail bond company. The bondsmen risk their own funds but charge the
accused a whopping ten percent of the total bond. In this case DelVesco would have to pay
$12,000.00 cash to the bondsman that she’d never get back. On top of that she’d need to hire a lawyer and
that would be well into the tens of thousands of dollars.
Because of her own
foolishness at her young age, DelVesco suddenly had the worst nightmare of her
entire life!
Simply put, police used
extortion to force DelVesco into ratting out the criminals that put her in the
drug dealing business. Once DelVesco agreed to snitch she was released on her
own recognizance without posting a dime for bail. Additionally she’d be spared from a felony
criminal conviction record and a most certain prison term.
It’s easy to understand why the
cops aren’t talking now, but the court documents reveal what happened. The big reveal here is in the handwritten
initials “OR” (own recognizance) on the documents.
The UCLA Police Department
dropped the ball here by failing to protect their young and vulnerable
tattler. They should have known that the
criminals they wanted DelVesco to finger would be both desperate and
dangerous.
If that lapse was not enough
wait until you find out how police bungled things in the hours before DelVesco
was murdered! I’m holding out that
outrageous reveal until I have additional documents in my possession.
It’s truly a miracle that
this fire set to cover up Delvesco’s murder did not become a holocaust killing
the numerous sleeping students in Delvesco’s building!
In the end there is going to
be a huge issue of liability for the failures of law enforcement to protect the
youngster they recruited from a frightening and really gruesome death.
DelVesco had a criminal lawyer; however since
he’s most certainly going to be called as a witness he cannot now represent
DelVesco’s parents ethically. However, I
just happen just know the right lawyer that wants this case!
