Show Notes
In February 2013, in a federal courtroom in Baltimore, Jamaican-born Jean Brown took the witness stand at her own murder trial. She told the jury she had nothing to do with drug trafficking and nothing to do with the death of a man named Michael Knight.
The jury had already heard a very different account from former associates, three of whom had pleaded guilty.
Episode 1 of Jamaica's Female Gangsters follows the court record: how, according to the evidence at trial, a woman who arrived in America as an adult came to run a pipeline moving marijuana across the United States by the ton, and what happened inside an apartment outside Baltimore in December 2009. Allegations are presented as allegations; court findings are named as court findings.
