    Default How fucked up the system is..

    Or did my brother get caught up in the system or some transition that we may not know about..

    So, My brother got sentenced to 10 years in jail...well, 10 or 6 with good behavior..

    Anyways, He had 7 charges..

    Now, He had 2 lawyers, My parents spent over 60K - His bail, when he had one , was close to a million bucks =/

    Thats crazy.. even the lawyers were shocked..

    My brother went ahead because the Lawyers, had a feeling this was going to be ugly..

    The 2 lawyers are WHITE.. by they told us straight up, Since we were hispanics my brother was going to get screwed if he went to trial..
    He was going to face 140 years in prission with parol After 40 years.. wtf..

    The lawyers were sure , He was fucked, but they had a plan, They had another person they knew, had the same charges, actually.. he had 9..

    Very similiar, no actually worst and That person got 9 years probation and 1 year behind bars.. But he had already been in Jail for 14 month..
    So he got out with 9 year probabation..

    And yes, He wasWHITE.. so the lawyers will redo everything in a few more month to make sure they have another way to attack this...

    The lawyers brought this to our attention and showed us some of the paper work for the other person..

    I honestly don't give a fuck about race.. I never really sweat that shit.. those who know me on a personal level know that..

    Thanks to the lawyers we may have a case once all this is settled.
    They just couldnt get everything together before he faced the judge for a plea bargain.


    My brother went to jail for Arm robbery - 7 counts..

    No one was ever hurt, under $1200 bucks was taken in all 7 combined..

    What made all this bad was , their were weapons involved.

    In no way, im saying he shouldnt get punished, but.. wtf is this all about? I def know what it is..

    And a 1st time offender..

    crazy shit.

    Yea, pointin a gun at anyone to take cash is wack and if he had the balls to steal he should have the balls to take whats comin to him.

    I would believe bein hispanic does play a role though, as white folks dont seem to like anyone other than themselves. Its gonna be a problem eitherway. SO he should just put his nuts on the concrete and take it

    It varies from judge to judge as I think u know. I mean, I got pull over for the same violation at the same speed in 2 different states and the amount I paid was different per each judge, so.... its their personal preception of it.

    My theory :


    OJ never killed that woman..

    I mean, when ge got arrested He was clean..no blood, nothing.. . who knows.. we will never know.. forensic evidence showed she was killed minutes before the whole mess happened..

    I think someone else did it.. and I think, who ever killed his wife, was going to Kill OJ to.. I think OJ was involved in something... and they were out to get him...

    lol.. if the glove dont fit????????


    But he got away..

    The system is screwed up.. and thats comming from a white guy! lol my ex-girlfriend's frandfather god life in prison for killing someone in self-defence. This guy got into a fight with him and pulled a gun on him and he wrestle with the man and shot him. I think the only reason he even got sentenced was b/c he was like 6''7' 300 and something pounds and was illiterate.

    Ur brother might be lucky b/c in some states the manditory sentence is higher because a gun was involved. Either way he knew what he did was wrong and like u said he will pay for it. Good luck with everything

    It depends on how the DA and judge feel, which vary so it's not always going to be fair. 140 years with parole @ 40 is very excessive. I don't doubt that the legal system favors whites over minorities. I don't think 6 years (if your bro can behave) is bad for 7 armed robbery counts. I feel more sorry for your family than your brother. What's ridiculous is the guy who got 1 year+9 probation for nine counts.

    The system is screwed, but believe it or not, America is the best place to live, and while it's laws/judiciary system is far form perfect, it is fairest system in the world.

    Point is, don't rob ppl with guns, and you'll avoid this whole situation.

    Life isn't fair, my 2nd grade teacher told me that, and that was the smartest/most useful thing any teacher has taught me.

    Man, don't feel bad, i'm white as they come and i'm getting 5 do 5 when i go to court, i didn't steal anything or hurt anyone. youre hispanic, yeah, is your brother a cholo looking/acting dude? That might be what the lawyers are talking about, different dimeanors and appearances, vernacular get different treatment. If you're brother is a straight up Cholo wearing a dickies button up with only the top button done some tan cargos knee high socks and chonclas what do you expect?

    Punishment for Armed Robbery
    Depending upon the circumstances, punishment for Armed Robbery can be


    1. Death penalty;

    2. Life in prison;

    3. No less than 10 nor more than 20 years in prison. Keep in mind that the minimum prison time is 10 years with no early release.


    If you take a controlled substance from a druggist and cause intentional bodily injury, the minimum prison sentence is 15 years. You must do at least 10 years in prison with no early release.
