26 packs of heroin..... $10,000
Legal fees..... $15,000
Taxpayer money spent on prosecution.....$20,000
Plea bargain that lets the man serve 1 year of a ten year minimum sentence.....priceless
26 packs of heroin in the car, 26 packs of heroin, take one out, pass it around, 25 packs of heroin in the car.
When they talked about Frankie selling horse I thought that he dealt in livestock . If Frankie gets a good lawyer with his stash of money from dealing he will get off with probation and time served .
I am apalled that a drug dealer can get off with a year in prison but the addicts that these demons create serve 10 years for stealing a lawnmower, etc. to support their habit
ALL drug dealers are scum and should be eradicated like the cockroaches they are.
The fact of the matter is most the herion in this area comes from the middle east via our neighbor to the north ... Canada... for which we still have millions of unchecked square miles of borders with. This guy will probably get 1 to 2 years in prison. There used to be a day that 26 packets of herion would get you 10 years in prison, but not anymore. I knew a guy who got popped with 1200 packets and only got 5 years in state prison. So to answer penguinbird's question ... not so good.
