Justice for poaching

[erussell]

This is by far the best sentence I have ever seen for poaching.

Instead of presumptive prison terms of three years and 6½ years, respectively, for their racketeering, identity theft and poaching convictions, the Donohos must report to the Lane County Jail for a 90-day sentence on Oct. 1, the first day of deer season, in each of the next four years.

That is terrific! Thats sure is the best sentence ever.

Thank you I will have to remember that one. However I seriously doubt it can be enforced. Upon appeal it will fall. That is a very smart ploy of a judge to get votes. Everyone thinks he can really do business. They changed and no one hears about it.

Bubba, is that how bad our justice system has become?

This is a great idea.How ever i think house arrest would work.Got to be less expensive than jail time.

They are poachers who could care less about season dates.So what good is that gonna do?

106 pairs of trophy antlers with an est value of $180,000 to 400,000. Ridiculous.

The article says it was part of a plea deal. A total of one year in jail versus 3-6, I don't think they will cry too much.
