i think she will be back in some high position within few months max... just not in Japan.

 

I think she will be back with some small, up-and-coming (EV?) automaker, some auto-supplier or, if not, perhaps something not automotive-related.

 

i heard she's going to join a pharmaceutical company for the 'benefits'

 

Bit

I work for a big Pharma/Biotech company and on top of a happy face salary the benefits are amazing (401k match, bonus, stock grants (free stock, not options and you get the cash dividends on unvested shares), pension, deferred compensation plan, life insurance, free entry to tons of local museums, etc., pharmacy benefits above those included in the health Insurance, post retirement health insurance discounts).

All kidding aside, the quickest way you can find to lose all those goodies is to put your hands on "scheduled drugs" like oxy in inventory.

 

Obama will pick her for the next DEA chief.

 

This was no "accident". Concealing Oxy in a package of cheap jewelry shows intent.

There is another point to be made here though - there is a worldwide crackdown on prescription drugs and you don't want to be in a position of being caught with anything suspicious in your luggage. If you take prescription meds of ANY kind and plan to travel, be sure to carry them in the original bottles with your prescription information clearly visible on the outside.

I know it's tempting just to throw everything into a big bottle when you pack and sort them out later - or for people who take several daily meds to put them in one of those containers with "daily" bins. I've done it myself. I've even carried my morning "set" in a small bottle that was labeled for only one of my prescriptions. It's more convenient that way . . . but it's dangerous. And I don't look good in orange.

Save yourself some time and embarrassment, always carry your scripts in their original bottles.

 

So, are you saying, Bob, that the daily "bins" are not acceptable for travel purposes out of the country? I use them myself for my own medications and vitamins/suppleiments....though I don'tt travel out of the country. In general, that is the whole purpose of their design....so you don't have to re-measure each prescription daily. But, I guess you're saying that one has to give up some personal convenience for travel purposes.

BTW, someone else (I won't say who) came up with a good joke for this incident................Julie "Hemp".

 

Well because Julie Glaucoma would just sound ridiculous

 

Ok, so can someone tell how right I was!!!!!

Hamp won't be be charged,

So we can probably all guess who those pills are really for...we all ask ourselves what akio was smoking when they come up with the predator face grills, well now we know what he was popping.

I guess in japan judges and juries are for decorations, just let the prosecutors decide what to do. Or the whole system is just corrupt as hell.

 

Well, she's already lost her job, which, at her level, had to be quite a high salary and benefits. And, given what we already know about the case, I'm not convinced she did anything deserving of Japanese prison time. She can't really be prosecuted here, either, as she had a legal American presciption for her pills......the problem was simply the way she had them packaged.

 

In most of NA, prosecutors (district attorney, crown prosecutors, etc) decide if they want to lay charges or proceed to a grand jury based on the evidence handed over by the police and their judgement on the likelihood of a conviction.

 

She'll do much better as the drug czar in the Trump administration. He'll revitalize the war on drugs in conjunction with the gazillion dollar border fence. There will be plenty of pain to go around.

 

My DEA comment, of course, was meant as a joke. But I still don't think she is guilty of anything deserving prison time. As for Trump, I agree with you that he is a tough, non-nonsense guy. I don't think he will be the next President, but that is probably a topic for another forum, not Car Chat.

 

For starters, a case like this will not have a Jury. It has only been recently that Japan has started the jury system and only on trials like murder. Even then the judge has the option to overturn that verdict, which makes this a pointless system as best.
