So What's the Difference? Neal vs Brown Suspensions.

Then why was he charged with intent to distribute? Please, please please please cite something, anything. I can't find a damn thing out there to collaborate what you're saying. I label all dealers as degenerate pieces of shit. And so, you having a problem with that label says more about you.

I didn't say he had 27k tabs, that was a comparisson so that you could visualize how much he was carrying.

The reporting was very confusing, but I think his "Shock" parole speaks to how seriously authorities took the distribution charges. He wouldn't be out if he was known to be dealing. I would bet the prosecutor added the charge because he could and it was used to gain leverage in plea deals and sentencing.

Fine, here are a couple other sites that say there was an intent to distribute added to the charge because of the amount he had:

"Jolly was charged with possession of a controlled substance with intent to distribute. "

I am sure the press release stated the street value of the codeine was $2.45 million dollars and that, if convicted, Jolly faced 45 years of jail with no possibility of parole.

You can get a grand jury to charge a ham sandwich, that doesn't make it factual. Prosecutors survive because they make it look like they never lose and that they are always targeting the worst criminals in the public's mind. Neither of those conditions is necessarily true.

This article confirms he was not convicted or sentenced under a charge of distribution. Had such a charge been supported by evidence, he would have been tried on that charge. And he would not be eligible for parole 6 months later.

Its not serious reporting. And no one is denying he was charged with intent to distribute. What I am saying is that the charge was an inflation of the actual crime.

Paraphrasing a criminal charge is not the same as actually reporting he was a dealer or distributing the drug. If I find a picture that labels Ronald McDonald the Queen of England, does that make it true?

Thank you. I conceed that he's not a soulless piece of shit drug dealer. He's just a degenerate who threw away millions of dollars for a cheap high.

Repped up for posting masterstroke.

Thanks a lot!

I don't know about Queen of England, but I suspect he may be a queen.

The intent to distribute charge can often be a ploy to get a guy to plea down to possession. At best they could have said that passing the cup around to other guys in the car constitutes distribution. Even a southern all-white jury would have doubts on that one.

He got tossed in jail because he kept ignoring the fact that he was on probation for drinking that stuff, and getting caught drinking it again. It wasn't the severity of the crime, just the repetition of stupidity that forced the hands of the judge.

Great post MS! Exactly how it went down.

I dont think anyone is saying Jolly didnt fuck up. My issue is that punkass goodell and the system are doing everything in their power to make shit difficult for someone who is hurting himself. Nothing new see it all the time. Proof money aint shit.
