A Westmoreland County prosecutor on Tuesday said a Harrisburg woman drove thousands of dollars of heroin into the region five years ago as part of a scheme by a convicted drug dealer to raise money to finance an appeal of his 30-year prison sentence. Assistant District Attorney Jim Lazar told jurors Sade Franklin operated as a drug mule for two men convicted in 2013 for their roles in a multi-million dollar drug ring that operated in the county. “This is a drug conspiracy that is complex and at the same time very simple,” Lazar said. “It involved a man from a state prison cell who wanted to fight a drug case with drug money.”
