How is this judge allowed to do this? You figure he would get some heat after turner.
It's California, pretty much everything they do is backwards. You really can't expect much from them.
He actually got a 6 month term. California has a law that allows for jail alternatives for most offenses. These alternatives include house arrest, work furlough, and work programs where you do work for the county under the supervision of the Sheriff's department, usually things like picking up trash, cleaning graffiti, or gardening along roadways. California also doesn't send anyone to any form of incarceration for smoking pot. Even prior to the current legalization, it was only an infraction punishable by a fine.
