Whenever you see a judge holding someone with a seemingly innocuous offense to a high bail, this is usually the reason. It's not some sort of inequality regarding fiscal status. That's preposterous.

I have no sympathy for this guy. He had at least 3 prior violent felony convictions on his record. Apparently he isn't getting the message or learning his lesson. If it were me, I would have ordered him held without bail.

Oh please, give me a break, you act as if he ruined other people's lives by selling them drugs. If somebody got their life ruined by drugs, they are responsible for taking the drugs. It is not their dealer's fault, that's stupid

No, it doesn't SOUND fair, but how many lives were ruined by the drugs he sold? My empathy ends when the person starts pushing drugs.

Not the dealer's fault? You've got to be fucking kidding...

Does the dealer force people to take drugs? Obviously not. How about drug users take responsibility. That's like blaming gun manufacturers for selling guns to people who commit mass murders.

Using drugs. Whatever. It's your body. Selling drugs? It depends. $40 worth of heroin could kill a kid easily. There were 32,000 kids killed last year from overdoses. Almost as much as the entire Vietnam war. Selling heroin could kill kids. Not good. How do you stop the pushers without killing freedom?

Sounds like he should've thought about all those consequences before he broke the law and sold drugs.

I wonder how many people would change their vote if they had known he had priors.

I knew there was more to this story. Thanks

One good thing, if he ever gets out he'll think long and hard about ever selling drugs again...

Yeah I agree, selling drugs to kids is irresponsible, but it doesn't say he sold heroin to children, so...

I see. I didn't read up but here, previous offenses weighed in.

Outrageous. The sentence is too stiff.
A few months probation would have done it.

Yeah. There's got to be more to this story. The system doesn't have room for guys like this to sit around for a year. Where was his court public defender? He should have got him time served after a week or two. What really happened here?

Why did you repost?

Oh hey. I was tell the guy above what you said. It makes total sense. Thanks
