Sad about both of them to get involved in that - once into met, you can't get out.

Pretty sad Mark.

Youd think rape/child molestation would carry a heavier sentence than a few skunks selling and smoking some meth. I think the sentence is excessive. No need to put drug abusers in jail, they should be forced into a rehabilitation unless they have other violent offenses.

I think 10 years is a mandatory minimum in KY for manufacture of meth.

Second offense while on probation, caught manufacturing & distributing--seems like a fair sentence.

Maybe she'll get to particpate in one of the prison programs that work with inmates on retraining ex-racehorses. Shake You Down is enjoying prison life and benefiting from just such a program in FL.

I don't know, I am kinda on the fence on this one, the making and selling is pretty bad. Who knows how many young, niave girls (and guys for that matter) they could have convinced to try this stuff. There are many at the track that just don't have the experience or street smarts when they first start out, and I am sure they would have been easy targets. I believe they both are repeat offenders, if I am mistaken please correct me, but am pretty sure this isn't the first brush with the law for them.

Screw 'em.

It's not their first offense and they were selling it. I wouldn't care if they smoked, snorted or injected their own eyeballs with it if that's all they did. But it's very cheap and a huge problem drug with kids.

There are better ways to make money.
