    'Very last warning' for 82-year-old German convicted of dealing drugs
    'Very last warning' for 82-year-old German convicted of dealing drugs

    BERLIN (AP) — A German court says it is giving an 82-year-old man a "last warning" to avoid jail after he was found guilty of drug dealing, despite 24 previous convictions.

    The retired seaman, who said he wanted to improve his meagre 800-euro ($855) monthly pension by selling marijuana, was handed a suspended sentence by a court in the northern town of Aurich on Monday.

    German news agency dpa reported that prosecutors had asked the court to impose a prison term of 34 months in view of the man's lengthy criminal record and an existing suspended sentence.

    But judges said they would make an exception and classify the latest crimes as “less serious offenses” due to the man's particular circumstances and recent health problems. (snipped)


    A translation of that last sentence is the he would be too expensive for the prison to afford! So once again, "justice" comes down to money!

    And the US does the exactly same thing! Several years ago, an online, wheelchair-bound friend, Randy, was busted for cannabis (possession, growing and sales), but he was released early because he was getting just too dang expensive for the prison to care for!


    Granny :wave:
