Good for him. Glad he's finally out. He had way to long of a sentence. He was one of my favorite Huskies.

Don't confuse light sentences on things like carjacking, armed robbery, attempted murder, murder with calling another sentence too long.

Legalize cocaine

Making 5 million dollars a year 10 years ago is equivalent to making 10 million per year today. I always wondered why he needed to get into the drug trade. Did friends from the old neighborhood look at him as the money man and pressure him into it?

Article says 5 million over three years.

Good luck to him.

he got a raw deal anyway you look at it. First-time offender who held a summer camp for autistic kids was also some how a drug kingpin? c'mon. If you go back and look at all the stories from the time of his arrest, they all allude to him being the tip of a giant NFL drug ring... something that somehow never appeared. Was he innocent? no. did he deserve 15 years? no.

dude got wrapped up trying to be bigger than he really was to his "friends" and he's paid way more than he should've had to.

Have they done that in other countries? I've wondered how that would work. Certainly their war on drugs has not worked, and they spend a lot of time and money on that.

It was an idiot move but they came down on him like he was on his 3rd strike.

FWIW
Oregon has decriminalized it. As well as Brazil, Argentina, Bolivia, Portugal, Germany, Greece, Czech Republic and Belgium.

Its legal in Mexico, Peru and Columbia

Apparently its medically legal in the United States... color me surprised.

It's decriminalized only for small amounts in most if not all of the above. Medical use is of course legal with prescriptions. Drug dealers would most certainly have more than the legal limit.
