Nothing to win the judge's favor:
1- hitting on a 17 yr old
2- Admitting that you did post the pics
3- Laughing during the trial

Sorry guys, can't post url so I had to stip the http

Well they hit him on the distributing child porn charge. If she was 18 and consented to the picture, I am not sure how much of a case they would have. Could still turn out bad for invasion of privacy but with today's 18 year olds taking all these nude pics and sharing them, they have to know they will end up in the wrong hands or the net at some point.

Most likely the last time he will laugh in front of a judge.

Too funny, and reminds me of a story.

I was in a court holding cell awaiting arraignment with a bunch of felons. The DA was taking people one at a time offering settlement agreements in exchange for a guilty plea.

One guy was very cocky. After all, he had held up a gas station on Halloween, so was wearing a costume. There was no way they could identify his as the perp . . . . or so he thought.

He came back a few minutes later, rather dejected.

Apparently the DA offered him a deal and he turned it down. The DA offered again, saying they had video of the robbery, so was he positive he did not want to accept the deal.

No deal.

The DA then showed him the video where his face was indeed covered. What he forgot was that he was wearing a wife-beater which exposed the huge tattoo going across his shoulders . . . with his nickname.

Because anyone that ever signs in with a password MUST be a computer technician.

so which gf site has those pictures now?

Pics or I call bullshit!

what a kind of thinking was that guy!!!

Sounds like they illegally disclosed evidence or he would have taken the deal. You cant hide evidence from the either side :2 cents:

The dumbass got what he deserved. :thumbsup

:2 cents:

WOW!! what a dumb ass on a few accounts!! People like that win the Darwin award.


How stupid can a person be???

Almost.

If I was the judge, I'd have put him away for even longer.

wow, what a mess!

This guy is real stupid, got what he deserved and will be considered a sex offender. He's a 30 yr old punk.

They told the guy they had video of the robbery.

He didn't ask for a lawyer and he didn't ask to see the video. He was offered a plea deal to avoid a trial and turned it down.

At least that's how I read it :winkwink:

What law school did you graduate from?

LOL that is classic.

I am curious though. . . what were you in court for that they had you in a holding cell with a bunch of felons?

I have to admit I don't know much about how this stuff works. I have only ever gone to traffic court.

You think that the police and/or the da can keep evidence from the accused? You dont need to go to law school to know your basic rights.

@justinsain yeah I guess that can be the case. People just might be that stupid! haha

omg lol....

I'm not lawyer, but I think they aren't required to turn over every piece of evidence unless there is going to be a trial or unless it is requested by the defense. I don't think they have to tell him "we see your tattoo on the video and know it is you" when they offer him a deal.

Yeah I made the mistake that the guy may be so stupid that he might not have asked for a lawyer. :Oh crap

If you think they have to show all their cards during a plea bargain I suggest you never represent yourself.

You are 100% correct. I had the misunderstanding that this was before trial. :thumbsup

Although ethic violations may have come from the actions of withholding the video tape.

All have 18+ :)

:1orglaugh

You realize half the time Im fucking around right?

very nice

hehe what a moron...

What a complete fucking idiot. Oh well.

If the DA TOLD him that they had him on video, I think it's then up to the accused
to ask to see the video. I don't think the DA is required to carefully explain every
detail of the video to the guy if the dude is too cocky to watch it himself. From my
understanding, each side has to turn over evidence on request - not force the other
side to look at it, and they don't have to explain to the other side why the evidence
is important.

ouch for him..what a shame

hehe guess that will teach him.. maybe

haha what an idiot. I think that will be the last time he laughs in a judges face.

Haha

that is some news.
