Re: OR: Poacher sentenced to 90 months in the slammer

Thank you for your answer.

Usually state prosecutors will hand off a defendant to the feds when they can, because when the feds lock up a convict, he stays locked up.

The minimum federal sentence for felon in possession is 10 years.


Also the state then does not need to pay for his room, board, and medical and dental care, continuing education, etc.

This particular choirboy needs a prison wing named after him. (Is that insensitive? I'm sure he had a rough childhood and was misunderstood.)

OR: Poacher sentenced to 90 months in the slammer

In Marion County, Oregon (middle of nowhere), a man was found guilty of manslaughter, possession of a firearm by a felon, and other offenses and sentenced to 90 months in prison.

Last year the defendant was hunting without a license when he shot at something moving in the underbrush. He and his buddy couldn't find the "deer."

The "deer" was a man, who was killed.

The defendant "has been arrested 34 times in Oregon, has convictions in other states, has multiple parole violations and charges of failure to appear, and has previously failed to register as a sex offender."

Obviously defendant missed a few weeks of Sunday school.
