RALEIGH, N.C. -- A University of North Carolina professor is complaining his conviction on drug smuggling charges in Argentina is an injustice.

Sixty-eight-year-old UNC-Chapel Hill physics professor Paul Frampton said he unknowingly carried 4 pounds of cocaine hidden in a suitcase from Bolivia while on a quest to meet a famous bikini model who is in her 30s.

British news reports say Frampton told investigators he was in Argentina to meet a model he'd met online and someone gave him a bag they claimed belonged to the woman, a Czech model called Denise Milani.

...SNIP...

Frampton also is fighting a decision by university officials to stop paying his $107,000 salary for failing to fulfill teaching and other duties. Frampton says he's now worried the university will fire him.

I’m surprised that his Viagra stash left room in his luggage for any cocaine.

Well-—I could almost agreee with you, but he isn’t in America, he is in Argentina, and they have an American by the balls.

I doubt the Argentines have a real interest in Justice.
They are more interested in sending a message.

What did they do to her left leg, below the knee? That can’t be normal.

“I have no idea why they would have picked me...”

Wait - you mean meeting the model was just a ruse? Well, I’m just glad my BIL is dealing with a Russian babe rather than some fake South American model.
