My husband shot and killed a man in 1988, when he was 15 years old. I've got the paper work from the courts and police records and homicide reports and pics to and all that to verify what happened. He and another 15 year old were picked up in Kentucky, and driven to Cinci Ohio by a 43 year old man, at 2am. His friend knew this guy and so they went when he said he had some weed at his house. This guy was 6'4, 320 lbs. He tried some pervy sh*t, and there was a gun laying out, and Terry shot him. He was in his underwear when they found him. He was a convicted pedophile, and it was stated by a witness that "something of a sexual nature" was verified. He ran off, and took 10.00 off the night stand to get a cab home. 5 years later his "friend" got busted for breaking a window, and to get out of any trouble he said "I know about a murder." They gave Terry 15-life. Murder, and Robbery. They said had he told someone when it happened it would have been a lot less severe. He's done 20 years so far, and hopefully is coming home this February.

My husband got sentenced to 2.5 yrs for forgery. It was a slap on the wrist crime but the judge looked at his past and saw that he was already a 2 time convicted felon...when he was in his early 20's. My husband turned 40 last year. What a f@$*#d up system.

hornelas · #**1105** 05-08-2012, 04:22 PM

my guy got charged under a messure 11. in oregon that means cant get off on good time, absolutly no sentence redutction he has to do days by day 100% of the time. he had a record before this last charge, but this time he robbed like 10 stores with a gun, and got 15 years. I am not sure if thats good or not. but it seems harsh to me especiall when i read that molesters and rapos get six years or less. i dont get this system. i dont know much about the law. i hav enever been i trouble but 15 years seems a bit much 8 seems right for the crimes he committed. but maybe i am wrong.

Yes! He was a repeat offender. This time he has become a better person, he always says if he had to do it again he would , it's better than being lost in the world. Thank God for change.

Anyways, so do you think your man's sentence was too harsh or do you think it was fair?

Yes, I do, he got 25 to life for killing a gangster that threatened to kill his pregnant sister. He has done 30 years plus and turned his life around and became a chaplain and he counsels gang members and the dying prisoners. But every time he is up for parole they laugh at him because he is a new man and he
preaches to them about the Lord. I think something is wrong, he should be released by now........I think they are using him as a scapegoat!

Zuweee · #**1108** 05-27-2012, 07:30 AM

I think my boyfriend's sentence was fair, it could've been way worse. He knew what he was doing, and still willingly broke the law. He won't get any pity from me!

I'm from Germany and for me, it is incredible how long the sentences at the USA are. At Germany, a life sentence is 15 years - If you get life you have no option to make a parole before this 15 years - mostly for murders. After this 15 years, you can ask for parole, and mostly they get out after 16-18 years - as a life sentence.
If they get a time sentence between 2 and highest 15 years, they can have parole after 2/3 of the sentence, and they get it normally.
So at all 15 years is the highest they can get.
If they are a sexual assaulter, they can get a time after prison for to watch if they are ill it is like a closed hospital, then they have the option to look for parole all two years. Only a few very dangerous and really ill people have to stay a life-long time because they are too ill to go out in normal population in the free world.

So for me, a twenty or thirty or more year sentence make no sense, here at Germany only 2 from 10 released prisoners come back to prison again - so what is wrong or right?

I always think about this that you have brought up here. I definitely think that the way our system goes about this is wrong, and they seriously need to do some re evaluating (which they won't). If a country like yours that does things like you illustrated has such a low recidivism rate, and we have such a high recidivism rate... what is wrong with the picture?

I know my man got a ridiculous sentence.

It is also the prison. At Germany, it is a human right that an inmate had a cell with 12 quartermasters a tv, radio, book, own clothes and so on. And they have - there is no way for the country to do it otherwise. Also they have the right of sports and open rooms eight hours a day. Something like the hole doesn't exist. I love America and my loved one is interacted, but I was shocked as I heard about the rules and the way they have to live there. At Germany, it isn't all good and the country had a lot of problems, but our human rights are much better in this part.

I don't know, what is the charge for being a jackass

I do want to mention that a friend of mine said something about "when he was in prison.. " I never would have thought this quiet, hard working guy would have done time. He tells me that he was on the interstate when the car in front of him slammed on her brakes and he plowed into the back of her car. Unfortunately, the driver of the first car was killed instantly. They did blood, breathalizer, etc. Standard when there is a casualty. He was not under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Somebody with too much time on their hands pushed for his arrest. Three years later he was convicted of vehicular manslaughter. Never had a ticket, no arrest, no record of any kind. 8 years! For what had been ruled an accident,. The more I know, the less I understand.

I agree completely. Solitary really messes with their heads. :-( It makes me so sad... a few weeks ago I watched "National Geographic: Solitary Confinement" It makes me so frustrated... it's on Netflix btw.

I love me some him..

peachie27 · #**1119** 06-01-2012, 02:21 PM

My friend got 20 for agg assault (no weapon).. There was a man who left a bar drunk, crashed and killed 2 people and seriously injured another and he got 8 years!!! Oh how I ♥ the system - NOT

tsears1 · #**1120** 06-01-2012, 04:11 PM

absolutely. my man sold one bag of crack for 10 bucks! and is serving 1.5 year bid. it was his first offence, no prior felonies. he should have gotten 5 years probation or 6 in 5 out! or a city year! but they gave him upstate time. there was 5 months of trials before he was sentenced and in that time, he stopped hustlin, got in no trouble, enrolled in a outpatient program even though the only thing he did was smoke weed, stopped smoking weed, stopped drinking, enrolled back in school! and he showed all of this to the judge and the judge was like nope your still going to jail. WTF.

meanwhile, his BOSS got caught like a month ago, he has prior felonies, detectives have been waiting to grab him for years, and he got 6 months in 5 years probation. WTF AGAIN.

this system sucks. my man's lawyer said that he truly believed that my man had changed for the better. and then there are all these hustlers who get caught and just go right back to doing it and then right back to jail and STILL GET LESS TIME.

justice for nobody.

My fiance got 12yrs for a 1st time non violent SIMPLE burgarly charge never had a record before, he's done 2 1/2 yrs as of now, in the state of Louisiana there is NO justice at all, it's all about the money.

TnNDreyfus11 · #**1122** 06-15-2012, 09:00 PM

my hubby did a friend a favor and pawned shit for them so they could make their rent and then they told the cops he stole the stuff and not only did they get the pawn money but got their crap back...he was supposed to pay a 90.00 restitution to the pawn shop and get released on time served and the judge decided he could do 13 months DOC instead...so ya that was way harsh and he didnt even do anything wrong

Anne Morris 87 · #**1124** 06-16-2012, 12:31 AM

The fellow that I am currently interested in finding is serving a sentence of life without parole. In past years, I have spoken online with people, who know about Oregon Criminal law and asked, if someone can get a sentence of LWOP, should they have a substantial amount of Cocaine in their possession at the time of their arrest and if my memory serves me correctly. they said the maximum is ten years. Do not ask me, what he did because I will not answer, out respect for his right to privacy. All that I will say is, even when one takes everything that he did into account, it does not explain him recieving a sentence of life without parole.

BrandonsBabe · #**1125** 06-16-2012, 10:13 AM

The way everything happened with my guy was pretty crooked. He got in trouble for drugs and having a gun, but the gun charge was dropped. He did his time, got out, and lived a good life-got married, was the manager of a restaurant, and then the gun charge was picked up. In Missouri, if a charge is dropped, it can be picked up any time within the next five years. Four years and eleven months after the charge was dropped, he was arrested at work. If he were still being a little hoodlum, I would understand, but the time he did obviously worked. He was being a productive member of society. He got five years for that stupid gun charge.
