Highly illustrative example of privilege. Over and over we're told that Kelli Peters is the perfect victim, that anyone else would not have been believed, yet nowhere other than that one sentence does anyone even come close to pointing out how wrong that is.

The whole affair is also an example of the fallout from over-criminalizing everything when it comes to the "War on Drugs" -- mere possession is enough to destroy entire lives, making it easy (and apparently tempting) to use it against one's enemies. Statements from former members of the Nixon administration[1] confirm this is of course intentional, and mainly targeted at minorities.
