    The minimum mandatory statutes for gun crimes will make sure he spends time in one of our states luxurious prison facilities. he should qualify for the states 10 20 life program. Then we will see how much he smiles.

    Don, if he used a firearm he will definetly spend some time in prison under the minimum mandatory for gun crimes.

    Are you serious? only a $ 16,000 bond for two robberies WITH a firearm!! he can get out with only $1,600 cash…no wonder he’s got that smirk! I feel sure he didn’t spend more than a couple of hours in jail and probably won’t see a day!
