Manafort get's off easy

Geez, who would have thunk it?

Paul Manafort, the white and wealthy convicted felon who faced up to 22 years in prison, a POS who lied to and defrauded the government for millions of dollars on his taxes for years, was sentenced to only 47 months in jail yesterday.

Legal experts, lawmakers and others criticized Thursday's sentence on Twitter and outlined other instances in which suspects received harsher punishments for lesser crimes. Others cited the case as an example of the sentencing differences between white collar crime and street crime, and what they described as racial disparities within the criminal justice system.

Scott Hechinger, who works as a public defender in New York, highlighted cases where suspects got harsher sentences. Just a day earlier, he said, his client was offered a sentence of between 36 to 72 months for stealing $100 in quarters from a residential laundry room.

He also shared the story of Crystal Mason, who got five years in prison for voting illegally in the 2016 presidential election while on supervised release for a tax fraud conviction.
"Manafort was sentenced to less than a woman who voted while on probation without knowing she wasn't allowed to," he tweeted.

Social media users also brought up Juanita Peralta, a mother of six who got 15 years in prison for drug possession, according to the Oklahomans for Criminal Justice Reform, which launched an effort to get her sentence commuted. Her 18-year-old is now raising five kids.

Hechinger also shared the story of Matthew Charles, who was released after serving 21 years of his 35-year sentence for selling crack cocaine.

I'll share a story of a friend who at 18 was nailed for a 1/2 oz of coke in NY, which had the toughest drug laws in the country at that time (the Rockefeller Law).It was his 1st arrest and he received a sentence of 20 years, mandatory. No chance of a reduced sentence. He got out when he was 38.

I was arrested around 30 years ago for possessing 8 oz of pot and 9 grams of hash, and was facing 20 years in prison and my public defender (I was in college and had no money) urged me to plead guilty and I would receive a 10 year sentence, and with good behavior could be released in 8.

I said fuck you, I want a new lawyer and the judge granted my request and I got one.

The new lawyer reviewed my case, said they (the coppers) fucked up and they had no right to search the house (It was a party at my frat house) i.e., unlawful search and seizure.

Next court date the judge reviewed my case with my new lawyer, looked it over and tossed the case for an illegal search in 15 minutes., and I walked away

So, with a plea deal, I was going to jail for a minimum of ten years for 1/2 lb of herb and some hash and this cocksucker didn't even get 4 (be out in 2) years for stealing millions from the government and lying under oath

That's fucked up, and that judge is a disgrace (I'll bet he voted for Trump)

trump keeps crowing "no collusion" while his cronies are going to prison...graft, theft, lying, stealing, cheating...but no collusion...know what? i don't give a flying fuck if they ever prove one point of collusion, as long as they keep locking these dirty motherfuckers up...when they finally slam the door on trumps cell, does it matter to me why hes there? fuck no...lock the bastard up for unpaid traffic tickets...as long as his ass is in a cell, i don't care why....
 
Older black guy from Dallas stole a box of frozen steaks from a loading dock. Was caught selling them and arrested.

25 fucking years. After 20 he gets parole. Sent to live with his 94 year old mother. Ankle monitor placed and he’s told he cannot leave her property without permission. Leaves to walk a couple of blocks to get cigarettes. Back to the joint for 6 months and then parole again.

“Fuck you and your goddamned parole. I’ll do every day of this bitch and then nobody can tell me I can’t have a beer or go get a pack of smokes.”
 
Actually it isn't politics , it is bigotry that has caused so many Americans to be outraged by Trumps efforts to sow hatred with lies
Remember when Hillary put her top secret classified emails on a private server in a restroom and didn't even get charged? Politics.

i typed "older black male steals steaks Dallas 25 years probation" and this is the only pertinent story that came up. IF this is what you're referring to, it was ribs, he said he was armed, he had an extensive record....and he isn't up for parole yet.

if you're talking about something else, please post a link...

Do you have access to the Texas Department of Justice online? Look up William McCoy. Not everything made the internet. Especially when he was convicted in 1989 or somewhere thereabouts.
 
Just checked. Since he’s dead or if he was not on parole his name wouldn’t be in there anyway. I worked as a dialysis nurse and he was a patient. I don’t give a flying fuck if you or anybody else believes me.

i didn't call you a liar, was just interested in the circumstances, and can't find any details...thought maybe you had heard a distorted version abut the guy i linked about...
