For a 1st offense, minor misdemeanor, 35 days is a LOT.
So either the misdemeanor was not minor, or this guy has something else going on?
Like maybe he's black?
Maybe he's dating the arresting cop's ex? But if this kind of thing were the case, you'd normally see more charges. (And no plea bargains.)
I'd say maybe it was a political thing, but it's not an election year.
Who knows? But 35 days is way outside the mean. The average person would not get that much for a 1st offense on a minor misdemeanor.
- gnhrgkai 8y agoBeing black does not net you a longer sentence. That's just stupid.
- DanBC 8y agoIt's well researched that black people get longer sentences than white people for the same crime. https://www.ussc.gov/sites/default/files/pdf/research-and-publications/research-publications/2017/20171114_Demographics.pdf https://www.ussc.gov/sites/default/files/pdf/research-and-pu...
- gnhrgkai 8y agoAccording to your pdf file, 19% longer. So this guy is exaggerating or something.
- majewsky 8y ago"19% longer" on average does not mean that each sentence is exactly 19% longer than it otherwise would be.
