White s ordeal began when she had a fling with a man she met while vacationing in Jamaica. White said the man asked her to bring what he called a “Care Package” of cocoa and spices for his family in New Jersey. She told investigators she thought nothing of what was actually inside the package until officials stopped her at the airport and found the stash.
“I’m not saying I’m easily connived,” White said. “But I’m kind of happy-go-lucky.”
Video of White’s airport interrogation helped prove that she was duped. After seeing it last year, a jury cleared her of every drug charge she faced. Even after proving her innocence, White knows there are still people who believe she had to have known what was really inside the package.
