  - it sounds like he isn't allowed to own a gun? - colinski Jul 10, 12:31
- here's what happened: prosecution offered defendant a deal to plead out the case. defendant didn't like the deal. as you say, the evidence wasn't - dug Jul 10, 12:27 1
  - That's what we figured. But honestly, so stupid for them to waste everyone's time on the other charges. Should have just went with the gun charge and - James Bond (aka Igor) Jul 10, 12:32
