Roscoe Sentenced To 10 Years In Prison & 10 Years On Probation For Wayne Bus Shooting
i could be wrong but it think it was considered a gang crime which changed what he was charged with and made the sentences harsher. I know Atlanta has a lot of gang crime and have tried to come down hard on it. But yeah, that sentence shocked me too. I've seen people get less for actually shooting someone. They may have also looked at that he could have easily killed a bystander, with a big crowd there like that.
Maybe, I know only little about US law, but still, that kind of punishement seems too harsh..
They definitely did look at that, it's an aggravating circumstance that he shoot in public place with lots of people around, but that can add 1-2 years imo, not this much..
I think this dude just had pretty bad lawyer tbh..

wow, those consecutive sentences are too crazy.. i dont like that about US law..
And I think in US law there is no maximum penalty? It can go up to whatever number?

I think there are maximums on some crimes. I think it's more that they can charge you with multiple crimes for one thing. Like if they charge you with robbery they can also charge you with trespassing, breaking and entering, assult, assult with a deadly weapon, etc. If it's not that big of a deal they usual let you plea bargin out. Confess to one crime and they drop the other charges. But if they want to hit you with everything they can and they have enough evidence they don't need your confession then they might not.

Yeah that's I meant when I said consecutive sentences, maybe I chose wrong word, sorry thats pretty ridiculous..
And yeah I know there are maximums on crimes, but I was talking about overall penalty..Cuz I know there are people with 200+ years jail sentence.. Like every crime you do, just adds up to your jail sentence..whereas in Europe, we got maximum sentence of 20-40 years, and it can't go more than that..
