Meth In The 19th Century

Decent Essays

A small amount of meth was found in one pan, confirming the claim. When the residue meth was manufactured, and by whom, still remained a question. The prosecution could not establish any time frame for when the lab manufactured the meth residue the police seized. The defense insisted the lab and its manufactured product was not Mr. Stefani’s.
