I hope they really throw the book at him THIS TIME.

His flat learning curve matches the prosecution’s flat learning curve.

Travale, well all righty then... don't even have to look

So much for enforcing their gun control laws.

“a holster, plus crack cocaine, scales, bags, and cutting agents. “

Aren’t those the mandatory Democrat tools?

How long does it take to prosecute someone for a crime in CT?

Do they just get a slap on the wrist and probation the first couple of times, or what?

Well, at least he didn’t have a AR-15 he had to register so he won’t be a brand new state made felon.../ S

If they locked him up for good, they wouldn’t have anyone to arrest. He is one of their best customers, after all.

Prosecutors accept a quick plea bargain. It counts as a conviction for the prosecutor, convictee spends a month or so in jail or gets probation, everybody's happy. Except the victims.

It should be the rule that after the 2nd arrest, no plea bargain is allowed. They go to trial on max charges, and the jury decides what to do.

Most violent crime is committed by chronic offenders. Get them off the street long-term, and you reduce crime.

Someone that should have been arrested 32x by now.
