On one hand your bro should have never started selling drugs--- not a good game. On the other hand it is very out of whack to get a felony for selling a few Os here and there, being treated like a significant threat to society.
Close, but I don't know any Senators who would sell drugs. Maybe some do them.... though I doubt they would get re-elected.
Are you sure that was the final outcome of this? I remember hearing Newton moving outragous amounts of weed, then gettin busted again week or 2 later, but never heard the outcome. There was definately something fishy and weird goin on there.
