Read what Kim Picazio know says about her client here
http://www.artharris.com/2009/11/20/exclusive-misty-croslin-family-fist-fight... The Department of Children and Families became aware of the allegations of drug use by Crystal. DCF requested a random toxicology test of Crystal Sheffield, during the course of their investigation, as they found it relevant to investigate Crystals fitness as a parent. At that time, in June 2009, I learned from DCF that Crystals infant daughter, Chloe, not even one (1) year of age, had been born with illegal narcotics in her system due to Crystals drug use during her pregnancy. The DCF caseworker had not informed me of this DCF case against my client, and I had no prior knowledge of the case until that time. DCF dismissed the investigation against Ronald Cummings, without explanation.
I felt as if I was only being told relevant information by the family, after a fiasco had occurred. I could not represent a client who was not being honest with me, and was taking illegal drugs. To make matters worse, In April 2009, Crystal admitted to me that she had taken unprescribed pain medication. Further, her mother, Marie Griffis, reported to me that Crystal had stolen her step-fathers pain medication after he had surgery in April 2009. I was extremely concerned over my clients drug use. Crystal assured me that it was not an addiction, and that it had only taken a few pills due to back pain from an old car accident. In April, 2009, Crystal suffered another seizure, and was taken to the hospital by ambulance. All of these incidents played out loudly in the media. Despite my requests to family and friends to withhold all comments to the media about Crystals seizures, they defied my recommendations. As such, I then was forced to issue numerous press statements regarding Crystals status.
A vindication? I do not think so. A most telling statement comes from William Cobra Staubs:
Kim Picazio and I had conflicts during the case because she adamantly defended her client. During the course of the case, I personally witnessed Crystal Sheffield take illegal narcotics on several occasions. I attempted to tell Kim that her client was doing drugs. Kim Picazio did not want me releasing this information to the public. I confronted Crystals family about her drug use, and they believed she should be put in rehab. I was present at a meeting between Crystal Sheffield and her Father,
Im not one to believe easy. Usually where there is smoke there is fire, but this time I do believe her. I think someone on Ron's side did it, either for a drug deal, pedophile, illegal adoption, white slavery, who knows but I bet it's someone he knows.

There is much to admire about Misty Croslin. Not just her looks, but also her attitude. She is cool, she is classy...and a little bit sassy.

Classy is taking it a bit to far.

Thanks so much for posting this lovely video of a stylish, graceful, pretty Misty Croslin who is rapidly turning into a mature, confident young woman. What a difference in this interview, and some of the earlier ones! Is it just the new hairstyle & make-up? Or did she only need to get away from Ron & the Palatka crowd?
