Parole denied for 68-year-old in Alabama: ‘A life sentence for growing marijuana’
Leon Hotchkiss, now 68, remains behind bars in Alabama, spending decades imprisoned for growing pot. The parole board thinks he should stay there.
You're viewing a single thread.
That law provides several different levels of trafficking, and Hotchkiss was convicted under the lowest level – having between 2.2 lbs and 100lbs. That weight includes all parts of the plant, root and stem and all.
40 years, jesus fucking CHRIST.
I'm 6400km tall if you include the earth under my feet
I'm billions of light years tall if you include the space above my head.
Damn you should play in the NBA
I don't know if he has the mass to play, he sounds like a lightweight.
And extremely heavy.....
Damn they'll never let me on the rollercoaster now...
Who, actually, believes society is better off for caging this man??
no one. but a great many people like that it happened
The rich for more slave labor?
yeah and general schadenfreude, racism, hippy-bashing and general reefer madness buffonery.
Many--there are people whose lives REALLY suck and they can't imagine them being better so they want to make others' lives worse. This is how a significant portion of the population votes.
An old pot grower's adage goes something like: if the sentencing minimum is for between 1-99 plants, you might as well grow 99.
People like Bud serve as the real life example for this kind of saying sadly.
This is stupid, why is the lowest charge range so big. 2.2 lb to 100 lb that is a huge range and you're telling me there is ranges higher than that? He already has life in prison the hell do they do with the higher ranges
And dirt they made sure to water.
