Or you can look at it practically, being that $30K is probably less than he paid his lawyers in a month. Of course it is a great plea bargin. Nothing on his record, and 30K to him is probably like 30 cents to me. After 2.5 years, I'd just want it to be over. It is.

And that would be your spin on it, Scaeagles. I'm merely going by his past statements and his feisty character- it just seems that if this were such a travesty of justice, he'd be fighting it until he bumped into Anna Nicole at the SC. It really doesn't matter to me if he got off on these charges, as I think our drug laws are ridiculous, but I'm just amused by the responses being posted here and the fact that one day I'm branded a bleeding heart liberal, and the next I am lacking compassion.
