There's a lot of people currently in jail for longer just because they possessed the leaves of a plant.

That’s 4yrs and 2 months for those that have a hard time mathing.
What’s that in metric?
About five pregnancies in a row with one month break each in between
Sorry, cant do metric, but we can make the unit less helpful.

He's got money and is connected. He won't serve more than 2 years
Which will be a year with time served. Down to 6 months before work release. 6 months which will be served in a minimum security ~~celebrity resort~~ rehabilitation farm.
Feels like I've wasted all this time not doing drugs, exploiting models and forcing people to rape eachother. I've been such a sucker...
So anyway, anybody here want to party? I have already ordered oil and bulls for 50 people.
Keep in mind that 1) he gets time served from the time he spent in jail, 2) if he's a good boy he'll do 85% of his time, 3) he could get into the RDAP program and get a year off. Not a bad deal.
They waited til the news was distracted so they don't have to give him a harsher sentence
including time served. he is out in 3. joke sentence
If he was poor, he'd have got 50 years.
Such a broken system. Four years and change is a weak ass slap on the wrist for all the depraved bullshit he did.
He didn’t get convicted on much of it, though. It’s a flawed system and a poor person would have been locked away forever.

Trying to make it like it’s a long time. That’s four years, that’s nothing.
All they really got is pimping and beating Cassie ass. Technically.
50 months of freaking off in jail is too light
I read the title as 50 years and thought "he's 55 so I guess that's enough", then I read the comments. WTF.
We sure he black?
Funny how race matters less when you rich
slap on the baby oiled wrist
50 whole months?
2% reduced fat months
We need to do more for people with weaker crimes and unfair sentences. We should audit everyone’s sentences routinely and shut down for profits.
And 40 percent of incarcerated shouldn’t be in prison. They need mental help.
I don't think that drug possession should be a crime. They're addicted to a substance. Jail isn't gonna help. Sure, they MIGHT get clean for a short while, while in prison, but then when they come out, they wouldn't have dealt with their issues. They need support, not fucking prison.

Months? Should have been years
Not long enough.
That’s it?!
Should have been 1 day of jail for every 1 bottle of baby oil he spilt.
every move he makes, they'll be watching him
Think he makes it out alive?
Absolutely. He is too famous and doesn't have powerful enemies. His prison stay will be cushy and he won't serve the whole time from a cell.
He should have a far longer sentence.
Probably gonna get a pardon
