A San Francisco crack cocaine dealer gave himself six months in jail after a judge told him he had to sentence himself.
Judge James Warren gave crack cocaine dealer Albert Brown his gown and told him he was his own judge.
Brown also ordered himself to change his ways for the sake of his children and to stay away from the area where he was arrested.
The judge said he was planning the same sentence.
He told Brown: "This is your life and you are your own judge." He faced a maximum five-year sentence.
Judge Warren said Brown "was very good at lecturing himself. Maybe this time it will stick."
He gave Brown a transcript of his self-imposed sentence "just in case he forgets".

A good gift would be some antibiotics. You got any handy?
To: Texaggie79
No. Try a pharmacy.

I need a penicillin shot. Guess instead of a b-day spanking, I will get a shot in my butt.
To: Shooter 2.5
thanx
To: Texaggie79
Well I wasn't going to give you a spanking.
To: WALLACE212
You have gotta be sh***ing me....And the criminal is even more stupid for sentencing himself to any jail time at all. A suspended sentence would have been my choice...
