Quoted from the news article:
"The charges against Iverson carry a maximum sentence of more than 50 years in prison, although lawyers not involved in the case have said he is unlikely to serve any jail time".
Interesting, since this is his second gun-related offense.
The rest of the story is ridiculous. Who do you know that would be permitted to remain under "house arrest" with pending felony charges until his attorney returned from a trip outside the country? The police were outside his mansion while he threw a big party over the weekend---I suppose they were there to direct traffic. The absence of equal treatment under the law in this case is a travesty.
Here is some more:
"As Iverson prepared to turn himself in, his mother defended him outside his home late Monday.
"He knows he's got to do what he's got to do," Ann Iverson said. "I'm going to stick by my son because I know the man he is. I tell him don't worry about it, everything happens for a reason".
WTF does that mean? It is laughable---the type of gargbage that gets spewed by a parent who knows their kid out of control. The whole thing is a joke.
