TAMPA - Police negligence contributed to drug informant Rachel Hoffman's death, a Leon County grand jury said Friday.

Hoffman, a 23-year-old graduate of Countryside High School in Clearwater, was fatally shot in May while helping Tallahassee police with a narcotics investigation.

The grand jury recommended that Tallahassee police discipline the officers participating in the case and change procedures and policies on the use of informants. The panel also indicted Andrea Green, 25, and Deneilo Bradshaw, 23, on first-degree murder charges.

The men were arrested shortly after Hoffman's killing.

State Attorney Willie Meggs told the Tallahassee Democrat that he likely will seek the death penalty.

1. Um, the term "snitch" is way over the line. She was illegally presured by cops

through intimidation and lying.

2. Jeff Farias was discussing this;the cops murdered her on purpose

the cops caught her and tried to force her to turn rat, but she refused. So they then told the druggies she had named them and gave the cops info that would get them long prison terms, if/when she testified. She had no idea of this when she went to see her bf (one of the killers)...It was cold blooded murder, but not in USA, where treason is admired as patriotism nowadays.
