    What the fuck is wrong with this world.

    What else did he do?

    You don't get 10 years in prison for punching someone.

    My cousin killed someone and only got 6 years.

    that is wrong. but did he have a record? i can't see anyone being sentenced to 10 years for a fight when carjackers and burglers get probation. is there any more information?

    I'm just going by what my friend told me. I trust what he says, but then maybe there's something his cousin isn't telling him. I don't know.

    By what could get you ten years? He didn't kill anyone. No drugs involved.

    past offenses don't take this the wrong way but the individual in ? probably has a long rap sheet ..

    That could be, but after hearing about the Jena 6, my friends story doesn't surprise me at all.

    I would suspect that this made the newspaper whereever it happened. Where in Iowa? I'd like to see the story. Tradtionally (and I am sure it is still true today), the justice system is not fair, but I am having a hard time taking this at face value--I am guessing there is more.
    I cannot come up with a new sig till I get this egg off my face.

    your cousin's certainly not black...
    It's not the first time we hear a black going into jail for 10 years after such a "small" bad act...

    it was 9:56 for the first question. :) Not saying they said it was his fault, but there were questions about it.

    I agree... my first thoughts would be that he has a prior record of physical violence or on probation and/or there were charges of ethnic intimidation

    if your buddy's friend was white, and got ten years for hitting a black man, would you have posted this?

    Is Iowa in the south? Anyway, I will call BS until somebody can provide the story via a link to a valid source.

    Are you kidding me? Hell yeah! Is this a joke? Ten years for punching somebody???

    Either way, it would be insane.

    If your buddy got into a fight and got ten years for breaking somebodies nose, tell me you wouldn't think that was unfair?

    I don't care if he had a rocket launcher on him.. 10 fucking years for punching somebody is in-fucking-sane!!! Lets pretend I don't know the real story behind this and this is purely fiction.. why the hell would anyone think that is an appropriate punishment???

    Not to tug on your chain, but it has been three hours more or less since your first post and still no link to the story. I am sure that this would be in even a modest paper from the town or city that this went down in.

    I don't have a link. I'm just going by what he told me, true or not.

    Just breezing through some stories in some Iowa papers on line and noticed a teen got 10 years for arson. Maybe the story is a little off from your buddy.

    There is something similar here in australia with aboriginies.... A much as i live my country, i hate it that it fkd the natives up... I vaguely remember an aboriginal getting yrs in jail for stealing a pkt of biscuits, because it was the 3rd time he had done something similar they put him in the slammer...

    yeah, you're not telling us something...there's more to the story.....I have an acquaintance who killed a guy by stabbing him 30+ times, and he only got 9 years.

    If you know his name, you can look up his case here:

    http://www.judicial.state.ia.us/Online_Court_Services/Online_Docket_Record/index.asp

    It should show all cases he has in Iowa
