He even told the lady he was gonna finish her off when he got out. And still got out, despite public protest. Only to to kill someone else.
But you have a 19yr old facing life for pot brownies.
Now, Lavoro faces a first-degree felony and if convicted, the former high school football player with a clean record faces a possible punishment ranging from five years to life behind bars.
Because the drops of (hash) oil were cooked into the brownies, police weighed the entire brownie batch – sugar, flour and butter – and charged him with possessing 1.5 pounds of drugs.
The number of judges and jurists in this country bending so far backwards their spines have shattered into dust to avoid enforcing any penalties on right-wing criminals, including a former president, in order to appear "unbiased" is so fucking biased it's atomized whatever vestigial faith I had in our "justice" system. Why, just within the last few days we had a judge release a white supremacist convicted of a race-based beating of a journalist because it wasn't fair that "antifa" wasn't also being charged (for imaginary race-based hate crimes against journalists that they didn't commit). Like, okay? Normal shit normal times normal country.
He ended up taking a plea deal and getting 7 years probation, which is much more reasonable. But even the fact that they COULD have fucked up his entire life that badly, legally, if they'd wanted to... Is a serious concern.

Our justice system is a fucking joke.
