Text: 15 On April 8, 1993, the same day Agent Green identified Dirty-Dirty as Ronald Earl Green, Agent Crawford wrote a report reflecting that all further DEA reports should bear the true name of the individual who was known as Dirty-Dirty, which was defendant Ronald Earl Green, instead of Tracy Scott King. Inexplicably, however, Agent Crawford also signed a report in which Dirty-Dirty was again identified as Tracy Scott King. This report was prepared partly on February 25, 1993--the day following the payment of the balance of money owed to Dirty-Dirty--and partly on May 27, 1993--more than two weeks following Green's May 12, 1993 arrest. It should be noted that this misidentification was disclosed to defense counsel. 16 Similarly, a report was signed by Officer Childs on June 29, 1993--about a month and a half after Green's arrest--regarding his involvement in the February 11 delivery. In this report, Childs also misidentified Dirty-Dirty as Tracy Scott King. This misidentification was also disclosed to defense counsel.
