Johnny S. Clarke & Lisa Straub- young Ohio couple murdered

[Fibonacci Prima]

From the sounds of it Johnny was the dealer... 2 digital scales were taken from the house during the search, along with baggies.... digi scales and baggies in the kitchen usually point to drug dealing... I doubt he was weighing enough postage to require TWO digital scales, so what else would it point to?

Plus their own friends acknowledge he dealt... He may have been trying to get his life back on track but he certainly wasn't there yet.

IMO

I have digital scales and baggies in my kitchen. I don't deal drugs. I measure food. Your argument is flawed.

Yeah, the kids were having a fun evening weighing and bagging food.

I don't believe the scale and baggies would have been listed in the search warrant if LE didn't consider them pertinent to the case.

I never said they weren't. I said there were more reasons for such supplies than drugs. It can't be assumed everyone who keeps scales and baggies in their kitchen is dealing drugs.

True, but why else would they be confiscated by LE?

I didn't dispute the suspicion considering the alleged background, and the presence of dead bodies. I merely commented on the statement that anyone having those things in the kitchen could only be involved with drugs being oversimplified and innacurate. I don't doubt there is reason for suspicion. LE knows what they're doing, I'm certain.

No, but in this situation how could you think otherwise? Also is it normal for people to have more than one scale in their kitchens? I don't personally use one and maybe it is normal, but seems odd to me!

I didn't say I thought otherwise. I didn't say one way or another, actually. I just commented on the blanket statement regarding kitchen equipment. Nothing more. I wasn't offended, or annoyed, or trying to be argumentative. I just simply commented that there are other reasons someone would have such things around.

And for most people it probably isn't normal to have more than one scale, if that even. I have 3. The reason is that I'm a fitness competitor and I measure things out carefully when I buy them so it's easy to get meals ready. I have one for poultry, one for ground meats, and one for veggies. It sounds excessive but I don't relish the idea of salmonella, or ecoli, so I avoid cross contamination this way. Scales are cheap, and useful when keeping diet very clean in pre-comp training. It isn't unusual for weirdos like me to operate this way in the kitchen...but there probably isn't a lot of usual behavior in my life.
