Was it just a gram of weed, or was it that this guy was a gang banging wife beating child raping degenerate that just happened to be caught, this time, with a gram of weed? Always more to the story than the media want you to see.

Here's the money quote:

While Harris was initially convicted and sentenced to 15 years in prison, in 2012 he was resentenced to life in prison under the state’s draconian Habitual Offender Law, which grants judges the freedom to impose far harsher sentences on defendants with prior criminal charges.

Sure glad you're not part of the justice system.
