Teen turns down 25-year prison offer, instead gets 65 years

[Silver Surfer]

I think, this law should be more publicized. That way dudes that ain't bout that life know ahead whats going on. I know its got to be a bytch to find out that your guilty of murder when you didn't shoot anyone. So this should be more widespread. But at the same time. dude was with 4 other people robbing houses. I feel for him. but I'm not fixing to have his back fully either.

Exactly....these are deterrence laws...

I guess you guys have never watched the First 48?

Best show on TV


Feel bad for the breh but if you want to live that life then be ready for the BS

I think the justice system is fukked but....you commit a felony and someone dies (and you may not have done the killing) you get prison.

Dude I went to HS with did a bank robbery in Cali and was the getaway driver and crashed the whip and his passenger died.

Got life.

Call me crazy but MAYBE he should have just gotten a 9-5 instead of robbing banks

Felony murder + accomplice liability. This reads like a 1L criminal law final.

Everyone else pled out. He wanted to fight it. But even without the murder, he is looking at 35 years for burglary and theft.

The moment you decide to break into someone's house is the moment you decide that you're prepared to deal with whatever comes after that.

Think about it. You're 80+ and getting out of jail after a 65 year sentence...

Think about it. You're 80+ and getting out of jail after a 65 year sentence...

Very few people can mentally get through such a long sentence so a lot of dudes do end up in trying to kill themselves during the first few years.

It didn't say in the article. Was he in jail with no bond until his trail?

If course not....the system forces him to become a criminal because school is not tailored for the black man to succedd

 

[Poetical Poltergeist]

Yet that cac who drunk driving killed 4 people and paralyzed another got no time until he violate this probation. Crazy.

 

[JackRoss]

20 years for each day the trial lasted
