Summary "About the wrongful arrest on trumped drug charges of a young black mother of four children in a small Texas town. She was one of many black males and females arrested in a drug sweep. The ACLU arranges for a local lawyer to represent her as the plaintiff in a lawsuit against the county and the DA for racial discrimination. After the confidential informant who provided the information the arrests were based on is exposed as a liar and influenced by the police and DA, the charges are dropped against all the defendants who had not taken a plea bargain.
