The Zanetti Case -- according to Vanessa Zanetti

A drug deal has gone bad. It was a sting operation. Vince Zanetti was personally involved and managed to get caught in a sting. We believe Vince actually shot a cop too, though it was chaotic, and they didn't get a clear view of who actually shot at the officer

The cops may or may not have bodycams, and there will probably be some wiggle room.

the warehouse the deal took place next to is home to one of our more profitable drug ventures, the police didn't manage to find it, because we have the lab hidden in a backroom, but claiming ownership of the warehouse might make them look more closely and be more trouble than its worth

as for evidence, apart from him being caught at the scene of the sting and the shooting, there is none, the family owns the warehouse, and I've long since made sure that any nearby cameras were shifted away from the warehouse or hacked into and made the footage loop.

Vanessa has a couple of boys who got hired as court clerks to make sure that nothing comes back on the family, if there is anything that comes into the hands of the prosecutors, she will make sure its scrubbed anyway

The main problem is that that he got caught at all, the courts know who he is, it's hard not to in these parts, so they will most likely try their damndest to get him on anything, just because it's so hard to get him in front of a court in the first place
