Texas Tribune Weekend Insider: Drug Runner Rehab, Reversed Verdict
Texas Tribune Weekend Insider: Drug Runner Rehab, Reversed Verdict – Michelle Gaines, was 19 when she was hit by a truck hauling an oil rig. She was in the hospital for 14 months, and her father and lawyers say she now has the mental capacity of a 12 year old. She may never be able to live on her own. A jury awarded Michelle nearly million. An appeals court overturned the jury’s verdict. Reporter Brandi Grissom explains this tragic and unusual case. First Julian Aguilar takes us to Eagle Pass. Teenagers are being recruited by drug cartels to smuggle marijuana across the Texas-Mexico border. So many of these kids are getting busted that law enforcement doesn’t have enough room to house the delinquents. It’s led the county to take donations for a new facility, which is being built, in part, by county employees and teenagers who have already found trouble.
