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?

Play stupid games - win stupid prizes. He’d be sleeping in his own bed tonight if he’d not broken into someone else’s home. The sentence seems pretty harsh, but he’d have gotten zero years had he done the right thing to begin with.
