Default If the real world was like the racing world

Judge: Will the defendant please rise?

(Defendant stands)

Judge: For the crime of murder, I sentence you to 50 years in prison.

Defendant: No deal. I didn't know the gun was loaded.

Judge: Ok fine. I'll lower it to 25 years, but you can't go into any more liquor stores after dark with a gun for 25 years after your release. Will that work for you?

Defendant: Yes. I accept your offer.

Judge: Thanks for working with me. Sorry to drag you through this.

It's more like robbing a bank and the defendant says, "Hell to the naw, that money is mine, motha****a!!"

And the judge says, "Ok I'm reducing the charge to disorderly conduct. I sentance you to one year probation as long as you don't go into a bank for a year."

Plea deals in the real world are commonplace.

You must just sit there ready to attack people with your idiotic comments. Thanks for taking the time out of your busy day to evaluate my posts.

first, not realizing tgm wants more ground, and now this? why do you even bother responding to him? it's pointless.

In the old days ( before lawyers and the accused rights were let into the pic) when the Stewards issued a ruling it stuck , you took your days and shut up about it and hoped they let you have your liscence and stalls back.


Now its more like this:

KHRA: Mr. B we are giving you a year .

Mr. B. : Fine you will be hearing from my lawyer.

Lawyer to KHRA : My client had no knowledge of the substance being in his barn .
KHRA: But he was in posession of a banned substance , it was found in his tackroom.

Lawyer: Prove that my client had any knowledge of it being there.

KHRA: Well its his barn , he should have known it was there.

Lawyer: Prove it , if you cant we are going to request a jury trial.

KHRA : CRAP , CRAP , CRAP , we cant afford to go to a jury trial and we may lose if the jury doesnt understand horse racing ::::::::SIGH:::::::::: ok fine will you accept 6 months?

Lawyer : Yes , thanks for seeing things our way .



Its all B.S , but thats the way it goes nowa days.
