Top recruit collapses in court after receiving three-year prison sentence | The Dagger: College Basketball Blog - Yahoo! Sports
This news article is about a young man who collapsed when read his sentence. Apparently a whole community came out to support this young in asking for probation, including the victim, simply because he had a chance for a basketball scholarship to Ohio State. Instead the judge gave him a three sentence.
A part of me wants to say, "right on Judge", simply because the young man needs to learn he will be help accountable for his actions. And what happened there could be used as an example to other young men and women, that if they are not careful, their actions could wipe away their dreams.
Yet another part of me thinks that maybe a little leniency may have effected this young man more, in knowing that his actions put his dreams in jeopardy. But then again, it could have easily sent another message. One of will let you get away with everything, simply because your special.
