| Teen gets LIFE in the iron college for murder. He did not kill anyone but Alabama charged him anyway because he was an accomplice to a crime. |
She and thousands of others receive harsh sentences for crimes committed by the ringleader. It's another part of the pathetic "law and order" stance of many lawmakers.
Now Lakeith Smith of Milbrook, Alabama is another example of cruel and unusual punishment for crimes he didn't commit.
Sen. Doug Jones (D-AL) are you paying attention. Black folks voted your ass in and we are certainly watching how you handle pressure. For you see, Jones beaten a flawed Republican in a special election. In a historical win, the Democrat flipped a seat that was held by Jefferson Beauregard Magoo, a lawmaker who held it for over 30 years.
Jones claims he is a civil rights attorney. Well he better do something!
Lakeith was sentenced to 65 years in the iron college. He was convicted of murder even though the law killed his accomplice A'donte Washington in a gun fight.
Millbrook Police responded to a burglary call when Smith, Washington, Le'Anthony Washington, Jedarrion Hardy, Jhavarske Jackson were spotted in the area.
The officers order the teens to stop but they ended up running. Well one was armed. A'donte was shooting off when the law returned fire killing him.
The teens were caught soon after.
They were aged 15 to 16 at the time but were charged as adults. They were told to get an attorney and take a plea deal. The plea deal would placed them in the iron college for 25 years.
Lakeith didn't take the plea deal and the jury found him guilty for murder.
Even though the police killed, A'donte, his accomplices are held liable for his death. Now at age 18, Lakeith will be spend a majority of his life in the iron college.
Now many are calling the sentence bullshit.
Ethan Couch in Texas managed to get away with vehicular homicide. He got ten years of probation after spending two years in the iron college. He was given a light sentence after he was driving under the influence. He killed four and severely injured five. He and his mother Tonya Couch fled to Mexico after he violated his probation.
Couch recently got out.
See Couch and Brock Turner got light sentences for far serious crimes.
They were rich and well privileged white boys who made "simple mistakes."
Black or people associated with Blacks got to the iron college because they are born and raised "thugs." The right wing media do not care about lives.
Black Lives Matter and the Innocence Project brought this to our attention.
