This is the story much like the story in the first GHOST DOPE episode and Melissa Veatch. In fact, Melissa and Ashley are very good friends. They met while at the same prison.

Ashley's story although the tale is different from Melissa's, the narrative is pretty much the same.

The government has no shame when it comes to prosecuting. They don't even need physical evidence. All they need is a person willing to lie on you to get a sentence reduction.
