White Boy Rick Wersche got shafted badly as an informant. When I lived in Detroit, a friend used to write to Rick in prison. Detroit is 83 percent African American. I used to get called a "white boy" there all the time. It's just the Detroit environment. Apart from all of that, yeah, White Boy got shafted. His prison sentence was ridiculously long and many corrupt cops were fearful of being brought down by White Boy's testimony.
