It's good to be a (Bama) FB player

Insufficient evidence? Okay. But for the DA not to prosecute because he didn't want to ruin their lives? Wonder if he has used that reasoning for the regular Joe who has also sweated his entire life? Or what about say a Grambling player? Sounds like he should resign.

The prosecutor's reasoning is ridiculous. If he would have left out the sweating and air conditioning part, it would be ok.

However, it would be nice if every DA would use their discretion not to ruin the lives of nonviolent or nonsex crime defendants. If they would, we wouldn't have the highest incarceration rate in the world.

Love how all these media folks are losing their mind over this. The only reason is the gun part. If this story was they were caught with just pot, no way any of them would comment on it. They would say "It's just pot". Also here is a time where a the law is giving a break to an african-american and they are in an uproar.

If these two people have not had issues with the law before, then I think it is reasonable to give them another chance.

To me having the stolen gun was the big issue here. I was on a grand jury last summer. It was an automatic for someone to receive jail time on a drug charge with a stolen gun...... And most of the guns they had were stolen....My opinion but if someone on the street wants to sell you a $500 gun for $50...... Just assume it is stolen.... Having the gun is jail time under normal circumstances and it really increases the sentence if even a small amount of grass is involved.

I'm all about owning guns and the right to bear arms, but when you have a stolen gun and a decent amount of pot (a bag), good intentions don't pop in my head.

Now it could have all been an innocent mistake and they may have just been taking a few tokes on Mary Jane. Hopefully the DA has more evidence towards that than the other way and that's how he made his decision.

This guy is no stranger to corruption. Typical LA politician. Pretty lenient on non-violent crime

That's because possession of a STOLEN gun is a pretty serious offense. There's a world of difference in that one word. If you're in possession of stolen weapons, there's a lot more going on there than just a few guys getting high.
