However, it would be divine justice to see him killed in jail by some of the drug users he put there. 99 years for using a drug, that's not justice, that's fascism.
Doubful. He pled guilty to possesion of a firearm while being a drug user. Three other charges were dismissed as part of the plea agreement, including possession of methamphetamine with intent to distribute and possession of cocaine with intent to distribute. Those charges could have brought an additional 41 years and $2.25 million in fines.
So it goes for the wealthy and well-connected.
I'm sure many here appreciate your violent suggestion. I would disagree. I hope he gets a nice cushy jail cell. Regardless of his own lawbreaking, he's help society a great deal by taking scum off the street and putting them behind bars until they die. I wish all prosecutors were as aggressive.
Sentences of these lengths indicate more than mere drug usage by the defendants. These are first degree felonies such as the manufacture or delivery of drugs, or the possession of significant amounts of drug (more than 200 grams of cocaine or methamphetamine or more than 50 pounds of marijuana).
Personal usage amounts of drugs (other than marijuana) are State Jail or 4th degree felonies with a maximum punishment of two years. Possession of a personal usage amount of marijuana (less than four ounces) is a misdemeanor.
That said, I hope the court "throws the book" at this prosecutor. What a hypocrite!

I couldn't agree more. I am not endorsing vigilantism either, but it would be a reap what you sow situation.
It's NOT justice.. it IS fascism, but that's all the WOD is anwyay. A fascist scam designed to make criminals and corrupt officials fabulously wealthy and powerfull at the expense of sick addicts.
