Wow thats an insane punishment for selling a few dime bags.
I hope that police informant is hanged in a septic tank, thats where someone like him belongs.
10 years for some Ganja, cmon here you get like 6 months to 1 year for pushing 2 kilos in 5/10 grams portions - if unlucky/cocky in court or you have plenty of previous convictions maybe 1 & 1/2 year.
Still kind of a bad omen when people do pushing with their kids around and asking the 9 year old grandson for change was maybe not such a great idea...

What's worse having an herb in your home around your children. Or being taken away from your kids and they are left to grow up without a mother?
here's what happened not in the op's link , they were offered a deal of 2yrs:
http://www.aolnews.com/2011/02/21/oklahoma-mom-patricia-marilyn-spottedcrow-gets-10-years-for-sell/
Patricia Marilyn Spottedcrow, a 25-year-old mother of four, and her mother, Delita Starr, 50, sold an $11 dime bag to a police informant in Oklahoma on Dec. 31, 2009. The informant returned two weeks later to buy $20 of marijuana. Spottedcrow, who worked in nursing homes before her arrest, told The Oklahoman she did it to get some extra money.
The women were charged with drug distribution and possession of a dangerous substance in the presence of a minor, because Spottedcrow's children were in the house during the transaction. They were offered plea deals of two years in prison but decided to enter a guilty plea instead, a gamble they took because neither had prior convictions and because the amount of drugs sold was so small.
The gamble did not pay off. Spottedcrow was given sentences of 10 years in prison for distribution and two years for possession, to run concurrently. When she was picked up to be taken to prison, she had marijuana in her jacket pocket, which led to another two-year concurrent sentence and a fine of nearly $1,300.
Starr received a suspended sentence of 30 years with no incarceration and five years of drug and alcohol assessments.

Here she is in prison , she may get some chance of education ...but this 25yr old
mother of four will basically do the time & thats it . For meth , crack, heroin this would understandable but for 2 dime bags of marijuana alone ?

Yeah this story doesn't really make sense does it? Why would leo be wasting time buying dime-bags from this family? Was spotted crow the drug-pin of OK?????
Obviously they were going after the connect, and I am sure the 2 year offer she refused probably entailed her ratting out the source. She said no and they gave her 10 years.
^Oklahoma is the land of the fucking retarded. why are they wasting time with this when they could be going after the hundreds of meth lab trailers. way more money in it for them
I hate hearing shit like this....sad

We live in a nation that profits on incarceration. In the meantime, the cops go to all kinds of dirty-dealing extremes to get what they want, even if it means turning informants, extorting, imprison the innocent, violence, and yes even murder!
Now, didn't some carpenter over two thousand years ago say something about anyone without sin, cast the first stone?

and the max alcohol percentage allowed in a drink in that state in 3%
Oklahoma is ass backwards
Stay the fuck out of Oklahoma!
When I read shit like this it makes me sad to be an American, it's a tragedy what happened to her it just makes no sense to anyone but the courts I guess.
The judge probably smokes pot too is the fucked up thing many of them do, pure insanity.

It is embarrassing. I can honestly remember when I believed the bs and looked down on people who smoked weed. It doesn't make much sense to me now but it did back then.

oklahoma is O.K. .... and shit don't stink .... to anyone who lives/grow there .. how do you get your balls in the wheel barrel? respect!!! good luck
If u look to the side links of that last link above her picture is the investigative journalist site "OaklahomaWatch.Org" ..you'll find several links involving this case and peoples incredulous outraged comments about this case following . (listed below)
http://www.oklahomawatch.org/story.php?sid=26
It turns out that OK has twice the nation's average of women incarcerated at 134 per 100k population...that's the highest in the US . And majority of these are drug related & they have a "hang em high" mentality stemming from older drug laws set up back in the 80s' & 90's . Of course these invariably end up targeting the low income & poor with the Dept of Corrections having the 2nd largest budget in the state . Being tough on crime is a big political currency still in these states with DA's , Judges & politicians are unwilling to change because of backlash from this
"one-strike" mentality .
Again this targets the low income , poor the most & SpottedCrow recieving this sentence is just another instance of this being only a first offender . Her mother , the kids grandmother was not jailed but got a 30yr suspended sentence . A 30yr suspended sentence for 1rst offender ?
incredible ...
I'll start, my first nomination for indictment is William J. Bennett; America's first drug czar and author of "The Book of Virtues."

don't know if you could call him a drug czar because that is a new term but Mr. Harry J. Anslinger deserved a seat in the court room. that man was OG in a bad way. the man who wrote the rules of the game. the only time the word legacy makes me wanna puke!
