there is always something more to the story. however, the author does note that the burglary charges against Young are dropped. it is implied by the article that the only crime he is convicted of is of possessing the shells.
if that's false, then Kristof is just lying. if it's true, then I don't think that you have much room here to ask things like 'oh surely he knew what he was doing was wrong'.
- anigbrowl 13y agoWell, he's convicted of possession because he already had 12 felony convictions under his belt when he was caught with the ammo. As Rayiner says, the appropriate thing to do would have been to get rid of it in some fashion.
- cynwoody 13y agoYoung was indeed back to committing burglaries[0] and even had his son tag along to help load the loot into his vehicle. So, Kristof lies. It's obvious the state charges against Young were dropped only because his federal conviction and sentence makes the state case a waste of time.
