Bail amounts? Marijuana sentences? Thinking before acting?
Nineteen years old. Twenty one is the legal age for concealed carry.
Why did he have a gun? And how did it get into the hands of a nineteen year old?
CONTEMPLATING:
“attempt on someone’s life and get released on bail, but if you’re caught with a gram of Marijuana they wanna bury you?”
Bury you?
“Possession of 20 grams or less of cannabis is a misdemeanor punishable by a maximum sentence of 1 year imprisonment and a maximum fine of $1,000. Possession of more than 20 grams and up to 25 pounds of cannabis is a felony punishable by a maximum sentence of 5 years imprisonment and a maximum fine of $5,000.”
Florida Criminal Code § 893.13(h)(3)
Florida Criminal Code § 893.135(1)(a)(1)(2)(3)
So how MUCH did you HAVE???
David for truth
Wait… so you can take a attempt on someone’s life and get released on bail, but if you’re caught with a gram of Marijuana they wanna bury you? Oh how I love our backwards county.
So how does this work? I would suppose he had paid $4600 cash to get out when he was under the $46000 bond, Then he had to pay another $5000 cash to get out on the $50000 bond? Would a bondsman please explain?
