10 lbs is alot...

not even sure what that goes for now adays...

figure an OZ approx $300... So 10 lbs cant be more then 6 figures...

the hash doesnt help... dont even know how they would qualify that....

the cash doesnt help either, but the distribution angle is obvious...
This isnt your friend is he?  this guy just had 10lbs

Found this on a lawyers site. 

He pleaded guilty to importing in excess of 5 kilograms of marijuana into Maryland, for which he received a sentence of....9 months in county jail, with a recommendation that he participate in the jail's work release program (which would permit him to work outside the jail, and only come back to the jail to sleepover until the next morning,before returning to work).  The maximum penalty allowed under Maryland law for this offense is 10 years in state prison.  I was able to get the sentencing judge to agree to 9 months in the county jail due to my client's lack of prior record, as well as the fact that there were legitimate issues in the case as to whether legal grounds existed to stop my client in the first place, and to continue to detain him beyond the time that the original basis of the stop (for following another vehicle too closely) should have been completed by (in other words, was there a basis to detain my client beyond the time that a traffic warning citation was, or should have, been issued.

Here is a link for NY.



One thing I have seen no comments on are he could get possession and distribution if the DA is a dick. two different drugs with paraphernalia. They could stack the charges if they are dicks. 

I am no lawyer but if the bust was legit and the cops didn't screw anything up I would go to the DA as fast as I could before he/she can examine the case and get a deal made.

Sorry to hear about your freind, I hate seeing people get popped, been there myself. A real good trial lawyer should be able to take care of this. Unless the crowns case is air tight, there's allways a chance to beat this, with a little luck the crown will assign this to an less experienced lawyer which could be huge, alot depends on who judges as well. The lawyers know the hard asses from the liberals and that will factor in to wether to go to trial or plea bargain.

Sounds like it's going to be a long time.  So sorry to hear.  Have him spend his money on the best attorney he can find.

Hows trolling the GD section of a gambling forum for kicks going?  Bringing some much needed entertainment to your sad day?

My friend is actually quiet a respectable member of society if I do say so myself.  Partner in a small real estate investment/house flipping company and doing pretty good for himself in that regard.  Just dealt a little weed, and got greedy.  Not like he had kids slinging crack for him on street corners or anything, or owned guns or whatever, pretty much just sold oz's @ a time to other young professionals in the area.  Pretty much everyone on planet earth smokes weed, someones gotta supply it.  My buddy just got greedy, and while he does'n't deserve sympathy, he's certainly not a bad guy.

Yep, having 10 lbs of weed and selling it to other "young professionals" is very respectable.

BUT 

June 09, 2011


There are 2,782 miles between Redding, Calif., and Eldersburg, Md. Robert Alan Tryson covered all but about 60 miles of that journey before he was pulled over in a rented Cadillac loaded with 104 pounds of marijuana.

Tryson, 44, of Eldersburg was in Washington County Circuit Court Thursday, where he pleaded guilty to possession of marijuana with intent to distribute.

Judge M. Kenneth Long Jr. sentenced Tryson to one year and one day in prison. In exchange for the plea, charges of importing marijuana into the state, possession of a large amount of marijuana and possession of marijuana were dismissed, according to court records.

Tryson was eastbound on Interstate 70 on Nov. 1 when a Maryland state trooper pulled him over doing 73 mph in a 65 mph zone, according to the statement of probable cause.

NO RECORD THOUGH! 

I was hoping to read that 5-10yrs is alot and was hoping this guy had a prior but all the small sentences are with no priors.

He had no previous criminal record and cooperated with police following his arrest, Veil said.

Thats the reason for the lite sentance probablly took 10 people down with him

I never said selling weed is respectable.  It's not a big deal but certainly not something to be proud of.

All I'm saying is that my friend is a productive member of society, has a solid job, pays his taxes, has never been committed of another crime, whatever.

So he sells some weed to some friends and makes some bucks off it.  That doesn't make him the scum of the earth.  If you have a wide enough circle of friends, I would GUARANTEE you that some of them have done worse things in their life than handing off a packet with a few lbs of weed to another person and getting some money for it.  Pretty sure that's not the worst thing anyone on planet earth has ever done.

Never said that selling weed is respectable.  Just said that other than slinging a bit of weed, my friend is a productive member of society.  Runs a fairly successful business, pays his taxes, has NEVER committed any other sort of crime.  Again not saying he should be respected or admired for selling weed, but its not like doing so makes him the scum of the earth.

If you have a wide enough circle of friends, I would GUARANTEE you that at least some of them have done worse things in their life than hand over a large bag of pot to a friend in exchange for some bucks.  It's really not some horrible criminal enterprise.  Again not like he had kids slinging meth on street corners for him under threats of violence.

I mean honestly, how worthless are you?

ALL you do on this site is troll the General discussion forum looking to bash others, make fun of people, and start arguments.  You just look for someone having an argument on here.......see which side the most people are supporting, and start piling on and bashing, you seem to love the typical covers "everyone rag on one guy at once" herd mentality. 

Oh and of course you also post EVERY single teacher-student underage sex scandal that you can find.  That is your other contribution.  Why?  Who knows, almost certainly b/c you're fucked up in the head, and touched a few times by your uncles when you were younger, so you feel compelled to analyze underage sex cases as much as possible.  I mean why else?  How fucking weird is it, that ANY time a teacher in the US fucks some underage students you are the first person to read about it?    You've got problems you sick fuck.....

But seriously, just to make sure........those are your main contributions to this site right?  Starting lame arguments........and posting sick underage student/teacher sex stories. 

6000 posts of that crap.  Hilarious.   


I'm going to try and not address you anymore, b/c myself replying to someone as sad as you really is just bringing myself down to your worthless level.
