You idiot, he got 7 1/2 years for a friggin DRIVE BY SHOOTING. Dumbass.
Actually he only got SIX MONTHS for being involved in a drive-by shooting.
The 7 1/2 years was tacked onto the 1/2 year sentence simply for writing a letter asking a friend to take over his marijuana dealings.
Do you think that selling marijuana is FIFTEEN TIMES more dangerous than being involved in a drive-by-shooting?? That's what this judge's ruling seems to imply.
