Reading this, I think it's a crime that this guy is not out on early release. The majority of his sentence was for marijuana, which is now widely decriminalized and in some places legalized.
- BizarroLand 1y agoI agree he should be released but using the mail to transport marijuana across state lines is definitely not legalized or decriminalized anywhere.
- keepamovin 1y agoNo but in my mind on principle because it’s legalized and decriminalized, this should not be a 10 year sentence.

- bastawhiz 1y agoI do not believe this is true. Looking at the record, marijuana is one of a few drugs. The specific incident that led to his current sentence is related to a powerful opioid. This is corroborated by Preston's own personal website.
- keepamovin 1y agoBlog post said majority of sentence was for marijuana. Where do you find this other stuff? I mean it would be sad if he was lying - but i don’t see any of that.

- sneak 1y agoThis was conveniently omitted from both TFA as well as the linked “how I got here” post. Where did you learn this?
- keepamovin 1y agoI’m basing my view on what he said in the blog. Where is this said?

- sneak 1y agoThis is an PDF of a bad court decision about an illegal search; he was not convicted of harming anyone. It contains no evidence of him harming anyone.
- greglansky 1y agoIf police can determine there is probable cause they can immediately search without a warrant. It contains strong evidence of him committing harm directly to his gf at the time. It does not contain a legal decision or conviction, but that's not a lack of evidence - the report's existence itself is by definition evidence.
- sneak 1y agoThat’s false. PC needs to be taken to a judge for a search warrant. What you are probably thinking of is what is called the “exigent circumstances” warrant exception, and it was misapplied here by over-zealous police who violated his rights. There is no evidence to support that the injuries sustained by the woman in his apartment were caused by him, according to that document.
- badc0ffee 1y agoHe received a suspended sentence for the marijuana. But then he breached his probation, and there were later charges including one for carfentanil.
- keepamovin 1y agoI recall what I read in his blog post was “majority of sentence was for marijuana”
- greglansky 1y agoWhy would you take him at his word when he's a self-admitted bad actor and therefore likely to be an unreliable narrator?
