Mike Scott Facing Up to 25 Years in Prison

Jesus 25 years? That's gotta be a joke.. I'm not sure how much 10 grams of Molly is, can't imagine it being that much.. I never really knew how much I was taking when I did, but 10 grams can't be that much. I mean 30 grams of weed and 10 grams of Molly is defiantly not enough to fuck up an entire party.. It'll do a decent amount of damage but not twenty five years worth..

Seems like $8,100 bail isn't much for a potential 25 year charge.. Something ain't adding up here.

I doubt he'd get the full 25 years. In some states, over five grams of molly can be anywhere from 5 to 40 years in prison.

The bail is probably a result of him not being considered a major flight risk. He's a reasonably well-known professional athlete who went out of his way to say the drugs were his. He's not the type you give an absurd bail to.

My guess is he gets maybe five years. It really depends if there's a mandatory minimum sentence for the various things he's been caught with.

Lol, people buying into the classic Bleacher Report and hack writer 'gotcha' taglines.

The reason stories like this even get popular is when writers simply Google in the basic drug crime for their state, scroll to the highest numbers they can find, and combine MAXIMUM penalties, by the strictest terms of the law, and throw in big fonts to say 'UP TO X YEARS (!!!)"

As if the sentences wouldn't get moved to be served concurrently (the max 15 for molly and max 10 for weed). Not consecutively. And as if anyone would ever see the absolute max sentence handed down. Let alone Mike Scott seeing the absolute max.

He won't see a day in jail.

I mean, as someone who smokes weed somewhat regularly, that's a shitload of weed. I buy like a gram at a time and it lasts me like two weeks. Thirty grams is basically what my dealer has when he pulls out his giant baggie out when I go over to buy.

I agree the trafficking laws are ridiculous though, although I suspect he's in a lot more trouble for the molly than the weed.

If you are buying a gram at a time it must be some thunderous strong weed. Kudos.

Your dealer is likely smart enough to never have more than an ounce on hand, common practice as an ounce is within the personal use bubble. Also depending on where you live under an ounce is considered non-criminal- thats the way it is in Mass.

Rebuttal: 30 grams is a joint (1.7g) over an ounce. Not much pot, I go through about this in 3-4 weeks of casual use.

i put a guy with millions of dollars as a flight risk.

9k? no prison.

btw

"your honor, my client was covering for his brother. no drugs were ever found on his person."

I wouldn't say thunderous strong, but I have access to some pretty good weed. Much better than I ever had in college. It's not as good as the stuff I had in Amsterdam, but that's to be expected.

This is sad. There is only one answer to any q's: "attorney." That mistake was way worse than the draconian drug laws.

Obviously should have eaten 2 grams of pot and 5 mollies before stopping the car.

Now that would have been a crazy night.

Are the Hawks the new Jailbirds?

Also, the fact that this guy is tattooed head to toe in emojis should have been a dead giveaway. Dude loves drugs (specifically party drugs).

He was also quoted getting all prophetic and philosophical about emoji use:

"So why emojis? I'd never really seen emoji tattoos before yours."

"The story behind it is I just use emojis a lot when I text. It's me; it's original. People are doing it now, but no one else had it before I started getting into it. I dunno — I guess I started the trend. It's a trend I see now but for sure no one had it when I started.

Sometimes they say what you can't say. They can express the words that you can't say about how you feel. You can do a whole conversation just using emojis and people will understand. I actually do that a lot."

Is this an Onion article? No, it's real life Mike Scott, unfiltered. Honestly, what took them so long? Dude is out of his fucking brain.

 

[Tlyons]

He needed some weed in the ECFs. He was a nervous choking mess.

 

[macbdog]

He needed to be in that rookie symposium class where Chris Borland learned that he needed a 'fall guy'. This is what your groups version of Turtle is for, Mr. Scott.

 

[godfather]

I don't care how stupid he was. And he's not going to spend 25 years in prison, but it still is absurd you could for marijuana. What a horrible law.

 

[godfather]

Bc drug laws are ridiculous

He wont though. He's anh nba player and they set bail at 9,000.

Even if he wasn't an NBA player, he wouldn't. That just means he could be prosecuted up to that, but it's usually very unlikely, to nil, someone would seriously get that sentencing.

If he pleas, he'll probably get 6 months in jail and probation, I'm guessing. He'll probably have to pay a hefty ass fine.

Zero percent change he serves 25 years, Lmao.
