Teen turns down plea deal for 25 years in prison, gets 65 years instead
WETUMPKA, Ala. — A teenager tried as an adult under Alabama's accomplice liability law was sentenced to 65 years in prison Thursday after rejecting an earlier plea deal that recommended 25 years.
Bro laughed because he realized at that moment the game that is the so-called system was, is and always will be fukked.
Parole in Alabama - Overview - Bradford Ladner LLP
"In general, an inmate can come up for parole in Alabama after they have served
one-third of their sentence or ten years, whichever is less."
This breh had awful lawyers.
Had he taken the deal for 25 years, he would have been
eligible for parole in a maximum of 8 years and 4 months.
None of the charges he had were Class A felonies under the deal - Felony Murder, Burglary and Theft are all exempt from the "must do 85% of your time" requirement for those convicted of Class A Felonies in Alabama. Meaning his parole could have come up even
earlier than 8 years and 4 months if he was serving time on even 2 of the 3 charges concurrently under the deal. There's a realistic chance he could have been out in 5-6 years.
Plus the kid had no priors, he shoulda taken the deal IMMEDIATELY when he was caught in 2015, he might've been able to serve his time in juvenile and be out by 21.
This whole shyt got me heated. Kid clearly has terrible people in his corner.
There's no way you're doing less than 5-8 years in
any state for being a participant in a break-in that lead to one of your co-conspirators buckin at the cops and getting killed.
If only he'd listened to Juvenile...he coulda been back out by 2022...
