It's DC I'm kind of surprised he didn't get off with supervised probation...

Actually, 13 years is probably an average sentence for murder alone as long as it actually gets served.

Not saying that it's right but that's the world we live in.

Maybe, but the FEDS (US Attorney/AUSAs) That run the charging system, the Grand Jury scheme in DC, and also prosecute criminal cases, somehow managed to make a murder1 charge a plea to voluntary manslaughter while armed. As bad as the DC goverment is, the US inJustice Department runs the show in DC.
Just imagine if the clown car somehow got statehood.

He won't actually spend nearly that long in prison. He'll be out before you know it.

Not sure why the surprise it's the way of the modern world. Holding people accountable for their actions is so overrated.

In this case though, he wasn't convicted of murder. I can't find much on it, I assume there is a reason that the DA allowed him to plead to voluntary manslaughter rather than 2nd degree or 1st degree homicide. Very well might not be a GOOD reason, mind you. But that still seems odd, even for DC, to allow such a lesser plea.

Too many black people in prison is racist so you have to give them leniency or your RACIST!

He should be beheaded just for that beard alone.

Time off for neck tats.

 

[davsco]

all of this gun control bullsh1t and yet when someone actually uses a gun in a violent crime, the sentences, if any, just aren't severe.

They are if you're white and not a career criminal and don't have neck tats.

Just a guess, but probably to expedite the process.

From the article:

"...Miller had dated Harris’s sister, according to court records.

Prosecutors said the two men had an ongoing dispute, and Harris fatally shot Miller, who was holding the hand of his 5-year-old child and carrying his infant in a car seat in his other hand.

...
Harris, who was on probation at the time for three separate gun possession cases, was arrested two months later. [Not sure if they mean after killing Miller or the probation.] He was charged with first-degree murder while armed.
...
In addition to the 13 years, Harris could face prison time for the three previous unlawful gun possession cases in which he was on probation at the time of the shooting. Judge Rainey Brandt ordered Harris to undergo mental health and substance abuse treatment while incarcerated."

Should we get a group buy going for neck tats?

*****I’m thinking neck tats have got to hurt... I’d be in for temporary neck tats to help with my street cred when I visit my old neighborhood..

Hopefully stick ons, that aren’t too sticky that they might hurt pulling off due to neck hair, etc..

Neck tats seem to have become much more common recently. I see them pretty much everywhere now, and not just in prison or at an NBA game, etc..

Anybody want to start a Go-Fund-me for anybody in the prison who would like to rehabilitate/re-educate this individual ? Proof of "rehabilitation" required !

An after-school basketball program would have prevented this.

Enough people believe that.

How can shooting someone 11 times be considered manslaughter? Did he have a seizure after finding a gun on the street?

In the same jurisdiction, a police officer was not only charged with but convicted of second degree murder for trying to pull over a moped driver for riding on a sidewalk and without a helmet. Of course, that person fled, crashed and died of a head injury. But DC prosecutors thought it was the officer’s fault for pursuing the criminal.

Justice is a pipe dream.
