The Defendant had a great defense attorney, Chris Crawford: That’s how he got this sentence.
67 months, huh? Wow!
He was released from state prison in 2011 after serving a little over 3 years for possession of narcotics and carrying a concealed weapon by a convicted felon.
5 1/2 years for all of that? …and he is a repeat offender?
Someone got lucky in the judge department this time!
He just needs a hug
It”$ should be evident that more went on in that courtroom that’s not been said in the media such as bogus charges that were thrown out they not going to tell you that so u people get over it

67 months? I know what judge I want if i'm ever in trouble.
What About The Law 10, 20, LiFe? 10 Years Mandatory FoR Just Pulling A GuN. ShamE On You Judge. I Know People Who Are In Prison On 1St Offences That Received A 30 Year Sentence And Never Touched A Gun Or Hurt Anyone And All Because That Judge Was Mad That Day, Because People Were Making Fun Of His Poke Dot Tie That He Had On. The System IS Blind And Unfair.
A little prison time to rest up at the tax payers expense, do a little weight training get buffed and right back out on the street.
The only thing wrong wit the justice system is there is no justice without (GOD) in it..
#In this coming from his momma..
Just over a 5 year sentence for ALL of that? No wonder we have one of the highest crime rates in Florida.
