There are always two sides to a coin.

Maybe Justin if the issue were to come to their bench again. But as of a couple of years ago, they ruled on a case that was “violent/non-violent” specific involving a hispanic that was here illegally. They ruled it was not a crime of violence and whatever sentence had been initially passed down be remanded for re-sentencing leaving the violent factor out. Larry has it in here somewhere.

This shows nothing but the driving force behind the mindset of MADD nuts. If anything was established here in the realm of legality, this was cruel and unusual regardless of the crime committed. To send them home, then go “surprise”, no more Holiday for you? We changed our minds because MADD got upset ? Who is victimizing who now ?The guy gloating above in the article about this reversal says it all.

This was purely political. Another case of MADD exerting “their will” threatening to advertize a smear campaign that the governor is a supporter of drunk drivers if he doesn’t reverse his position.

Of course not. I mean, what does packing heat have to do with potentially being violent ?

They truly are amazing with their mindset and rational when it comes to the definition of “violent” offender. (regardless of what the Supreme Court says)
