is he going to a real prison for adults or just a "detention center" like where Iverson went?


Oh how I just love when the hopes and aspirations of black males are crushed

was he a top recruit or something? never heard of dude.

supposedly a top 100 player

which means 95-100

He deserved to be punished for what he did but not three years. Maybe a year max and some counseling.

The point of a prison sentence SHOULD be to punish and also deter the culprit and others from doing these crimes. Not saying 3 years is justified but fukk counseling. I believe prison terms should include forced labor.

But the problem i have with this is kids out there NOT knowing or understanding that a lot of these crimes carry MANDATORY sentences which means even if the judge wanted to they could not reduce the sentence because its basically like you commit crime X and sentence is automatically = Y and no way around it

Homie dont look 6'7" either, more like 6'3"-6'4"

 

[Francis White]

dog, you'd faint too if you realized you just threw away a pro basketball career because u couldn't handle the emotions of a woman not wanting to be with you.

Nas was right...p*ssy kills.

Pro? Yeah okay, this guy was nowhere near that level.

Realistically though if that video was all he got 3 years for then he got screwed

He kicked her but he didn't even land any good ones. Just saying, if I knew I was gonna get 3 years out of it I'd at least make sure I hit her good or something


I'm being a typical poster here though, my thought process was 1. racism 2. just watched the video 3. not reading anything more than 3 lines so I may or may not be correct

video of him stomping jawn, yea dude deserves some jailtime

Former Garfield Heights star Tony Farmer sentenced to prison - 19 Action News|Cleveland, OH|Breaking News, Weather, Exclusives

3 years for that? I thought it was gonna be a UFC style beatdown or something. 8 months to a year max shouldve been the sentence

 

[88m3]

she was white lol

 

[funkee]

hold up hold up hold up...not condoning violence against women, but after watching the video how the fukk does somegone go to jail for 3 years for that? plenty of regular people as well as athletes, both amateur and professional have done far worse and gotten off easy...unless like homie said above that the charges come with a mandatory sentence, this seems like a case of a judge taking matters in their own hands and trying to make an example out of someone....and where is the "kidnapping"?

Top recruit collapses in court after receiving three-year prison sentence | The Dagger: College Basketball Blog - Yahoo! Sports

the expressions are hilarious in the video link

Instead of sifting through scholarship offers, selecting a school and launching his college basketball career as he originally planned, an Ohio high school standout will have to put his dreams on hold.
Tony Farmer, an 18-year-old senior at Garfield Heights High School, received a three-year prison sentence on Tuesday as a result of pleading guilty to kidnapping, felonious assault and other crimes.

The 6-foot-7 forward had been hoping to receive probation after teachers, coaches and family members testified on his behalf. When he learned he'd be going to prison as the judge read his sentence, he crumpled into the arms of a sheriff's deputy and collapsed to the ground in anguish.
In an odd twist, among those in the gallery sobbing in reaction to the judge's decision was the victim herself, Farmer's ex-girlfriend Andrea Lane. Even though the two remain separated since Farmer attacked Lane last April after she didn't want to reconcile their relationship, Lane had previously asked Judge Pamela Barker not to put Farmer in prison.
"I know he was a good person," she said, according to the Cleveland Plain Dealer. "I hope he still is."
The entire courtroom scene is depressing and painfully hard to watch because Farmer had such a bright future prior to this incident. Before video cameras caught his altercation with Lane on tape last April in the lobby and parking lot of her apartment complex, Farmer was a consensus top 100 prospect who had drawn interest from the likes of Ohio State, Xavier, Dayton and Michigan State.
The punishment he received from Barker is just yet severe. Unless Barker reduces Farmer's sentence when she reviews it in 180 days, his hopes of playing major college basketball are likely now over.

Justice is served. Why is he shocked? We all expected him to do something like this. True colors always seep through a white gown.
