Just after interviewing Nurse Patricia ( http://talley.tv/nursepatricia ), http://Talley.TV, Bob Constantine ( aka http://WeedaClaus.com ) and Anton Lee of http://ShirePhotography.com spoke to her mother, Rita Richards.

In this episode of Talley TV, Mrs. Richards shares the letter she wrote and sent to the Judge in the State vs Patricia Smith publicly because she believes that the judge has never even read it.

Mrs. Richards provides an interesting perspective because she was a "corrections" officer for the State of New Hampshire for 15 years. She admits that while she was doing her job, many of the people in the cages she oversaw were there for victimless drug-related crimes. When asked how this made her feel knowing that her daughter faces the same punishment for harming no one, Rita admitted that she felt confused.

Mrs. Richards also provides insight into the type of person Nurse Patricia is: a good person who hasn't harmed anyone. The same can not be said of the cops that raided Nurse Patricia's home, stealing her money and property, or the prosecutor and judge who will ensure that a peaceful person remains a hostage of the State for years as part of their ongoing war on people who use drugs. Drugs like marijuana but not liquor which the State of New Hampshire sells exclusively at a rate of $500 million a year.

Reporting from the front lines of freedom, this is http://Talley.TV.

If you or someone you know has been the victim of government threats or violence, http://Talley.TV and http://ShirePhotography.com would like to speak with you.

  • That's a tough pill to swallow, for years she willfully participated in the kidnapping of nonviolent people for victimless actions, and now she sees her daughter in the same trap. Sad.

  • @sigatus please make them know what they've done.

  • I wish I knew who those jurors were.

  • Hey Jason. I'm excited you're producing videos.

  • Just more evidence of a broken system.

    Absolutely no excuse for this. Another failure due to the actions of some bad apples and taxation. Nothing else. And I'm not even a consumer.

  • This is a tragic story - but great reporting. Please keep up this important work.

  • more unbelievable video from Talley.tv. I hope more people with stories like this contact him at Talley.tv or his phone number
