Man - y'all must think every prosecutor and judge in the world is lookin' to hang people for jaywalking.
Very few of us would be in jail right now absent some sort of aggravating factors and/or a lengthy record of similar issues. Any of us that were just caught some folks on a bad day.
Prosecutors care about drunk drivers, kiddy diddlers and drug traffickers. The rest of you folks are going to get suspended sentences, diversionary programs and maybe an hour or two in court here and there while the attorneys hammer out the paperwork in between.
Again, I'm just baffled at how much this has blown up. Suddenly we have people honestly trying to say that the dude's going to spend 10 years in prison?? C'mon.
