This should send a message to all that try to sell that poison on our streets.
ODB is alive and well !
18 years for $40 worth of dope. That is an insane amount of time for that petty amount.
Remember, don't do the crime if you can't do the time.
The image just radiates intelligence, style and wealth. $40 worth of dope=tens of thousands of taxpayer dollars wasted on surveillance, prosecution and tens of thousands more for incarceration, keepin dem lil baby's daddy's future crack dealers in food and housing for 18 more years, meanwhile the rich and powerful dope dealers, who many times are upper middle class whites, do the real business, unencumbered, today as usual. Quite a win? Herein this story is a testament to the value of a public defender. How could this guy have done any worse representing himself? Smoke and mirrors for the small minded cheerleaders.
3:50, that's all it takes to destroy one life.

Do you have any evidence of that or are you just expressing your opinion?
This guy is a career criminal, eventually your dozens of previous no jail time, probation cases run out and they give up on you. Which should have happened a long time a go. GOOD BY DIRT BAG!

Probably his opinion, but his point is still worth examining.
Look at his record, assault, arson, drugs. This was not due to just $40.
Wow this guys defense lawyer did nothing to help him. $40.00 little dollars and because of this he gets 18 years. It sounds like this case makes no sense where is the justice system. I have seen cases worse than this that get little time. It looks like they just wanted him to be put away.!
