I'd have no problem with the deferred adjudication if it was combined with surgical castration.

Please tell me this is a joke. I have lost all faith in our court system. The judges have lost their damn minds.

Just guessing but I'm not sure Mr. Perkins got a great deal. Did he have 4 grams? Or 200?
Was he selling or using or both?
Odell Beckham look alike needs to be under the jail. Taking advantage of a special needs kid?
Really?
Mr. Ojeda screwing kids?
We all know he will always screw kids. Put him in for for at least 15.
