Oh please. Why don't you provide the evidence for your claim that all he was doing was "toking the demon weed".
He was convicted of a felony. He was a drug dealer. He's scum.
He was convicted of "delivering."
Florida Statutes, Title XLVI, 893.02 (5) "Deliver" or "delivery" means the actual, constructive, or attempted transfer from one person to another of a controlled substance, whether or not there is an agency relationship.
You lose.
Enough generalities. Lets get your opinion on a real instance. I have a friend who went to prison after he was convicted of dealing drugs. I have known him for years and have no reason whatsoever to disbelieve his story. I have confirmation from other peple too. He gave a neighbor a ride on his way into town. His neighbor said he had to pick up his keys at a friends house. He waited in the car for his neighbor and then they went to town. It turns out, his neighbor went inside and sold a bag of weed to an informant. So, since Jack drove him to a drug sale, he got charged too. He knew nothing about the sale until he was charged. The police and prosecutor didn't believe him, or didn't care.
They charged with distributing near a school since it was within 500' of the state university's land, and he got a mandatory minimum sentence. He went to prison.
In your opinion, did Jack deserve this? According to your criteria, he was convicted of a felony and he was a drug dealer. He must be scum. Would he deserve to get raped in prison?
PS - If our children bought weed, they would be just as guilty as the dealer. They are creating the demand. Drug dealers typically don't seek out kids to victimize. They are sought out by the kids.
