Apparently in spite of that they still used that evidence in determining his sentencing. I am not a lawyer, but as I understand it it would be the difference between getting pulled over with a lot of drugs vs getting pulled over with a lot of drugs and a lot of guns that you legally own: Even if you only get charged and convicted of the drug possession the case with the trunk full of guns will in all likelihood experience harsher sentencing.

- sdhgaiojfsa 8y agoIt actually is how the law works, though, since (for better or worse) there is judicial discretion in sentencing.
- s73v3r_ 8y agoYes it is? Are you honestly trying to say that one cannot take the context of things into account when sentencing?
