That's how they got Youngluck actually.

Guy who helped him kick meth got busted by undercover. In order to get a reduced sentence, the guy was told he needed to flip on others further up the food chain. So he told youngluck he was in serious trouble and needed to run some drugs to a dealer or else they'd kill him. Said drugs came from the DEA of course, and Youngluck was looking at an 18-year minimum sentence.

The thing that struck me is that after he went in, this guy got sentenced.

And he was out before Youngluck was.

For shooting a kid in the head on a BART terminal. On video.
