Sam Hurd expected to be sentenced to life in prison *UPDATED* 15 Years - Article In Post 106

[perrykemp]

Life in prison or head chopped off..............pick one I guess

Never been to prison and don't expect I ever will be.

The positive within all the negatives I could see in it is I am about 500 books behind on my reading list. Just not enough time in the day.... I could really see myself catching up on that list.....

Just saying.

Hurd did lose a lot of money being really naive and stupid and tried to go along then was scared to stop .

This is exactly what it sounds like to me. You don't just jump from 20-30 pounds of MJ to 50 kilos of coke a week. Small time pusher with kingpin money making juvenile decisions.

This is so silly.

Murderers, rapists and molesters get lighter sentences.

I agree with you.

The thing is, this kind of sentence isn't exactly surprising. Folks who get into the racket of deal / trafficking these amounts of drugs know the score if they get busted.

what a waste.

 

[17yearsandcounting]

This is the kind of person the system is supposed to "rehabilitate". He has a degree, he is well spoken, he has skills.

No. Lock him up and throw away the key. No second chances.

Whaaaaaat?

 

[GimmeTheBall!]

Yeah, go easy on da kid. Say to Mr. Muggles that we accept him in our lives. It creeps into our lifes and make us bad students and we become like skaters then one day we wake upand we are playing the piano real fast and you know we half a problem with M, Mr. 13, Mary Jane.
Yes we can dismiss it and coke but it always comes back to haunt and to ruin livez.
The great lawman Sgt. Ralph Standenko said it best: Only dopes use dope.
Don't excuse it. Dont give it a chance like Sam did.

Pretty much.

Stories like these just disgust me. Life in prison for selling drugs.. just wow. As others have said, people who murder/rape get lesser sentences.

 

[TRUTH87]

@STEVEPICK11: Atty for Sam Hurd say fed charges don't fit the crime. Hurd expected to testify at his sentencing. Happening now.

 

[theebs]

Hurd was outspoken on a certain topic all the time when he was interviewed.

He has proven to be another phony on a long list of people who speak about the same thing.

Excessive bombast, even for you....

You are correct. But I meant what I said about playing the piano really fast. I don't know this from first-hand experience but I hear it make people really hungry and then the fatness creep into your life too.

Drugs are the assassins of youth.

I did like the use of Muggles. In most cases, I like the use of antiqued slang....

It's antiquated? damn the years go by so fast. Well, except if you are in federal prison.

Hey, the kid doing community service in the rec room says to use the term Da Chronic, but he might be messing with me.

Yea, i odnt know if what he did warrants life in prison. It seems far to harsh of a sentence.

 

[DFWJC]

Life for that crime is very harsh, imo.
jmo though

Ah..I missed the coke part o fit. That's different.

Federal prisons are full of well-spoken people with degrees and with skills. But usually the convictions are for fraud and white-collar crimes. Hurd went too far.

 

[JoeyHarris]

Life in prison -- if that's what happens -- is a travesty. Is he an idiot? Absolutely. He threw away his football career, relationship with his family, and freedom for weed and possibly trying to take steps to get into big drug trade. But he never actually ran ANYTHING and all the scum bags he hung out with turned on him for the better deal. Has shades of what happened with OJ a few years back. The no name people turn on the big name knucklehead so that the government can make an example. OJ gets 33 years for attempting to steal back his own stuff while everyone had a gun but him. And now Hurd will get life for attempting to MAYBE deal drugs while the other witnesses -- confirmed and repeated drug dealers -- get eight years. What a joke.
