A Case For Lawyers

Comedy In The Courtroom

It's generally the worst idea ever for accused criminals to represent themselves in court, but it certainly does make for some interesting courtroom footage. Keison Wilkins, 33, was sentenced 42 years in prison for felonious assault, being a felon in possession of a weapon, and firing a gun into a habitation. I'm sure he was shocked when the verdict came down — faking a heart attack in court probably seemed like a foolproof way to get himself acquitted. [C&D]

to the losers laughing at this, calling it pathetic, etc…

let me guess, but youve prob never been on trial facing 43 years in a criminal justice system thats NEVER given a fair trial to a black man. when youre in that situation you do whatever you can to survive, even if it might look stupid to some pilates-class-taking blog-reading bourgie. not his fault he's not privileged enough to go to law school or hire a decent attorney. and hey, yu fake dead to get out of a bear attack, why not a cracker attack?

Yeah Fri thats why I said it was sad.

But one must be punished for the crap he did.
Honestly I'm not on the white mans jock like most people that read this blog. But there comes a point that bad people must be punished and in some cases punished severly.

The crimes he is alledged to have committed warrant a stiff sentence because it would appear he never learned from his first brush with the law.
Not having seen the evidence first hand I cannot say that the charges are accurate but I will have to give the criminal justice system the benefit of the doubt, unless proven otherwise.

I will not feel sorry for a sorry sob that did the crimes he is alleged to have done no matter what race. People like that should be shot on sight in my opinion.
Watch the show "thefirst48" tell me how many of those people are victims of the man or just sorry ass parasites that shouldn't be allowed to procreate let alone live. These people live in a very different world then you and I, and they have no problem continuing in the shit instead of improving themselves.
