There’s of course no way of validating her account, but here’s a story about a woman caught up in a federal raid on her home by agents investigating her husband. She says he was eventually cleared of all charges. But because she slammed the door as the men in black were trying to enter her house (she says she didn’t know they were police), she was initially charged with felony obstruction of justice. Interesting angle that she’s writing to a blog that gives career advice. She had to plea to a misdemeanor, but is now worried that her criminal record may hinder her ability to find a job.
