Daisy Bram a Witness in Federal Case Against Three San Francisco Cops

On March 1, Daisy Bram was released from a Butte County, Calif.,
jail after being convicted of cultivation of marijuana and
possession of marijuana with intent to sell (Bram was sentenced to
120 days but released early due to crowding). Her three children
were taken by Child Protective Services more than a year ago and
remain in foster care. Reason TV told Bram’s story last year in a
program called “Parents, Pot, and Prohibition: Daisy Bram’s
Story.”

It turns out there’s a lot more to Bram’s story. Earlier this
week, the San Francisco Chronicle reported that Bram is a
key witness in a federal case against three San Francisco police
officers. In 2010, Bram and her partner, Jayme Walsh, were acting
as informants for San Francisco police. Bram says that officers
asked Bram and Walsh to sell several pounds of seized marijuana for
a 25 percent cut of the profits. Bram reported the incident, but
the officers were cleared of any wrongdoing at the time.

Is Bram’s role in the federal probe of San Francisco police
officers connected in any way to her legal troubles in Butte
County? “I just think it’s really suspect that all this is going
down the way it has,” Bram told the San Francisco
Chronicle.

Butte County Deputy District Attorney Jeff Greeson denies any
connection. “That stuff in San Francisco has absolutely no bearing
on the charges in Butte County,” he said.
