cue the americanos that doesnt see an issue at All in this. 18 yr olds do stupid shit, everyone does at one point ar another.. crazy. I would beat the shit out of the judge and her entire fucking family when I got out. Then hunt down the fuckler that bragged about the police doing a good job. what the hell.
One, Its Corpus Christie, TX...Texas doesn't play. Two, he may have gang affiliations, both he and the Judge are Latino, she wants to come across hard. Three, dude can always appeal to a higher court. It ain't the end of the world. Four, you'd do no such thing Swede, chances are you'd be shot by the judge herself. As I said before, it's Texas, they don't play down there. And they have executed more deathrow inmates than any state. Five, we don't know what the max penalty and fine for tagging (graffiti) and for the amount of damages ($7,000) is. It could be for a certain amount over or under is X number of yrs. In the state of Maryland, a simple assault (like a fight) carries a max of 10 yrs or $2,500. I don't know how many get the 10 yrs, but I know it is a very, very, very small number.
With that being said, 8 yrs is a tad harsh, and he probably will appeal it.
