The two young women who were busted for scoring cocaine at Chelsea nightclubs and accused of reselling it throughout their FIT dorms look like they might have run into some good fortune due to some admitted sloppiness by the DA's office. Mickenzie Dippenworth and Christine Scafa turned down plea bargains of six months in jail for last November's coke bust. The Post reveals that investigators have admitted that they are missing $200 in "buy" money, transcripts of the contents of more than 15 text messages between the two women and the undercover cops who nailed them, and expense reports detailing how much buy money the undercovers put in their pockets. The pair have said that the cocaine sale was just the natural next step when meeting two undercover cops at the hotspot Home who claimed to be ultimate fighters and bragged about their penis sizes. The trial is set to begin this week.

The undercover cops who set up the bust of two FIT students for selling them cocaine apparently knew the quickest way to the young women's hearts—they complimented their cleavage. That was one of several details offered by accused dealers Mickenzie Dippenworth and Christine Scafa in their defense that the sting was set up by a month-long seduction by the undercover officers "Chris" and "Jack" (they all met at a Chelsea club). The women also say that the cops bragged about being Ultimate Fighters and boasted of their penis size. On the night of the actual bust, the Post reports Dippenworth's lawyer's claim that: "at 1:30 a.m., one of the undercovers 'initiated a request for cocaine.' When Dippenworth gave him the little left of her stash, the undercover 'literally pushed $100 to the defendant and insisted that she take the money.'" The two young women are due back in court in a little under a month for the charges of selling a total of 11 grams of cocaine for $1,280.

Robert Chambers, the infamous Preppy Killer who was busted last fall for dealing drugs to undercover cops, is going to use a "psychiatric 'poly-substance abuse' defense." His lawyer Valerie Van Leer-Greenberg told a judge, "He did not act knowingly" because he was so influenced by drugs.
