    Sounds like classic case of "affluenza" to me.

    I never even heard of this guy. Not sure if that's his fault or mine. He any good?

    4 years for driving while high. That's pretty strict when a rich kid gets off after killing a family while driving drunk.

    I dont understand that bit about the charges being thrown out because he didnt have a lawyer present at sentencing?

    Wait, you get four years for...what, having a gun? I'm confused - did he attempt to kill someone?

    I guess it's because he's a repeat offender but when people are getting zero jail time for actually kiling others... It does seem messed up.

    Repeat offender laws should only apply to violent crimes.

    You should have heard of him unless you're a new fan of basketball. He played for the Kings about 10 years ago. Wasn't very good but was a big inside shot-blocking presence.

    side note: What's up with Kevin Harlan narrating dunks over Shawn Bradley and saying "He sucked the gravity right out of the building". lol

    At first I thought that 8 years seems excessive for possession of a gun and weed.

    However, then I saw part of his rap sheet... it only goes to 2008. =x

    http://www.shamsports.com/2010/01/where-are-they-now-2010-part-13.html

    Looks like this guy was clearly a massive, habitual offender... I'm guessing the judge didn't feel like they had a lot of choice.

    Hmmm, locked up for 4 years for driving under the influence. But no jail time for killing 4 people while driving drunk....

    I read the whole list...didn't see anything worth 8 years in prison.

    Threw it in like Dwight's contest winner and Griffin vs Knicks from couple years ago.

    Likely a habitual offender.

    Did sound weird.

    I agree. Maybe its minimum security prison, with very early chance at parole?

    But yeah, the US legal system never seems to dish out the correct amount of justice.

    He got 8 years for wasting all his money on drugs and leaving nothing to pay a decent lawyer.
