"That's higher than the punishment range for sexual assault, higher than the punishment range for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon."

Welcome to Texas.

Why, why, why? So ridiculous and tragic. Deport him to Colorado, I say.

Let me get this straight: These cases both happened in Texas

1. Ethan Couch (Affluenza Boy) robs a store for some liquor, doesn't have a driver's license, drives drunk and kills 4 people. He has a previous record and gets probation.

2. Jacob Lavoro makes some hash brownies and sells a few. He faces a 5 years to LIFE.


Sounds legit

5 years - LIFE!?!?! Who the hell came up w/ that shit!?

Tom DeLay might be a good guess...

The kids issue is that they are charging him with the entire weight if the brownies as if the whole thing was made of actives. Basically he's fooked because they see this as him having 1.5 pounds of MJ ready for distribution (individually wrapped brownies, etc)... even tho its mostly eggs, flower, sugar, etc...

Lots of stuff for his lawyer to use tho. 100% sure he gets some sort of plea deal for probation and rehab or some such shit... then Texas can get back to things like executing the mentally handicapped and making sure people can take their guns into bars.

Don't forget they also like to do cavity searches on the side of the road.
Ahhh Texas, where the fingers roam free.
