  Jean Duley (alias Jean Wittman): ex-hard drug abuser/ motorcycle gang member

  I'd be shocked, shocked if the the WaPopos buried another lede:

  Shortly before she sought a "peace order" against Ivins, Duley had completed 90 days of home detention after a drunken-driving arrest in December, and she has acknowledged drug use in her past.

  In a 1999 interview with The Washington Post, Duley described her background as a motorcycle gang member and a drug user. "Heroin. Cocaine. PCP," said Duley, who then used the name Jean Wittman. "You name it, I did it."

  Hey -- and who says Jean Duley lacks expertise in working with sociopaths?

  Social expertise, clinical expertise: what's the big diff?

  Gee. Wonder if her buddies in the motorcycle gang always just let Jean bogart her personal heroin/PCP/cociane stash....or if she ever shared a dose or two of her hard drugs with anyone else?

  And I wonder what the Federal statute of limitations is for “sharing”? Is that like “distribution”?

  Gee. Wonder the statute of limitations for “distribution” is?

  Oh well: I’m sure she was never around anyone who "trafficked".

  Wonder if Jean Duley (alias Jean Wittman) first ran into criminal trouble when she was using opiates? Or cocaine? Or PCP? Or other DEA controlled “you name it”?

  Naah. Feds and local law enforcement never force former opiate abusers/"hard drug" abusers into serving as informants — do they?

  Bonus wonder: what criminal charges show up (or were sealed) for Jean Wittman? Any drug diversion(s)?

  Naah — the WaPopos would have already checked that out, right?

  I’d be shocked, shocked if they hadn’t.
