She had made some poor decisions based on her circumstances, not because she was an idiot, but, But because she was in some pretty tough circumstances. Because she was a kid.

Yeah, exactly. So, and that's the other thing is like, yeah, she was a kid, but there were also these, you know, late 20s guys from out of town who were preying on these kids and convincing them to do drugs. Like, first of all, I gotta say, the Vermont State Police, I know Overacker was very complimentary of them regarding how they handled things after the first couple of months, but... I man.

You find a guy who has been selling crack to children, you find him with a minor in the home with guns, marijuana, cocaine, crack, all of these different substances, and you'll let him off with 45 days time served. No, lock him up. Throw away the key.

Don't sell crack to kids. I will say, I think that was, because I remember, so I didn't mention this in the video because I wasn't really in it, I guess, other than the call open. Hi. I have had contact with a Vermont officer from that time period, from a previous job, ages ago, things like that. I think that was a representation of the results of the legal precedence at the time.

Because I know they were, as law enforcement, were really cracking down on crack. That was not intended to be a pun, but here we are. But he said there were a lot of instances where they just had to let people go, even though it was basically cut and dry.

Yeah, because the justice system is not just the police. Exactly. But then I see something like Trooper Farva here, as we've taken to calling him. Yes. I mean, first of all, the boyfriend story is sketchy as all hell. This state trooper pulled up and saw a car backed into a home, saw and documented, reported seeing obvious signs of a struggle.

Is it likely that Brianna Maitland would have been found if he had filed his paperwork on time? No, absolutely not. But it does not give me confidence in the police.

That's the thing. Even though it was unlikely that that would have made the difference, it's not impossible that it would have.
