This young man, Adrian Gaskins received 40 years in prison in 2016, at the age of 17, for breaking into someone's home. He is not, nor was he ever
A violent person. He did break the law by breaking and entering but 40 years is too much time for breaking and entering. His family is heartbroken. I spoke to his mother last year and was almost in tears when she told me the story of this young man who was once a high school football player and made good grades, and a second chance was all that he needed. 40 years for a nonviolent crime.
Adrian Jermaine Gaskin, Jr
These are the charges, and notice 3 of these charges are basically the same crime.

The agg robbery, which they called agg robbery was because he had a weapon on him when the cops found him, but according to his mom, he didn't use the weapon. The harass public servant charge, I think he was charged with that because he spit at a police officer, which is a bad thing, but does that warrant 40 years?

How many times was he sent to juvenile? There’s a lot of factors to this. At the end of the day don’t do anything illegal you’re not willing to to get caught and sentence with.
@SW-User it all happened In the same year. It was 2 separate incidents. The agg robbery was when they found the gun on him. 6 or 7 months later, he broke into someone else's home.
Im not saying he shouldn't have went to jail, but 40 years?

@Shapeshifter spitting in a cop’s face is a surefire way to get fucked in court. I’m not saying I don’t feel bad for him. I’ve been arrested a few times and was always respectful to the arresting officers and judge and never got a maximum sentence even when I deserved one
