Getting Sentenced

Saw a man get sentenced to 15 years in prison yesterday.

When the judge read his sentence she mentioned that he was being sentenced on charges that included unusual circumstances.

"Defendant was forced into the illegal sale of base cocaine due to the foreclosure of his home. On his salary as a maintenance worker he could no longer afford to pay the mortgage on his home."

Dude had a wife and 2 little girls too. Luckily, the judge ordered a county jail year and 3 years probation in lieu of his sentence. If he were to violate any condition of his probation . . . off to San Quentin he goes.

Affirmation: Crime is a direct result of poverty.
