One of biggest drug busts in history in Miami
A smuggling ring that supplied 5 percent of the nation's marijuana was so profitable it funded a small army with grenades and sniper scopes. Federal agents arrested 13 of 14 indicted by a Miami grand jury on racketeering, with U.S. Attorney General Griffin Bell calling it a historic roundup. Over 16 months the ring allegedly imported more than 1 million pounds of Colombian cannabis and secured cocaine, buying pot for 35 to 80 dollars per pound.

Justice system blamed for killer’s release and deaths
Indiana and Illinois officials deny fault as Stephen T. Judy, a convicted felon, is accused of abducting Terry Lee Chasteen and her three children near Indianapolis. He allegedly raped and murdered the 21 year old and drowned the children after taking them to a creek near Mooreville. Indiana warns Judy’s discharge date was miscalculated, raising questions about cross‑state release procedures and accountability. The case follows a broader drug trafficking indictment detailing a large Miami smuggling ring with executives Robert Jay Meinster and Robert Elliot Platshorn.
