Thank God Cam chose Bama over LSU.
Yea, because a great left tackle wouldn't have done much good for LSU the last 2 seasons, and we all know a screw up like this is way worse than any positive contributions made the last 24 months.

Im sure he feels the same way considering the 2 Sec championships, 2 playoff games, and a National Championship he has been a part of.

While white kids in the burbs hire rich lawyers to get their weed/pill charges wiped away with no jail time whatsoever.
American justice system baby

The question is, though, what the o/u on how many boiled eggs can he eat?

If is just a misdemeanor and the gun charge is pleaded down. They should get second chances.

Louisiana is typically pretty relaxed with its gun laws. However, we still have some of the toughest punishments for possession of weed in the nation(outside of New Orleans). As stated recently, other cases similar to this resulted in harsh punishments.
I am also curious on why this isn't two felonies.
1. Posession of a stolen firearm
2. Illegal posession of a firearm(carrying a firearm in the presence of narcotics)
So even if they can prove that Cam didn't know the gun was stolen, he would still be stuck witg the other felony.

Talking from my own personal experience, it is not. I speak from a wealth of experience spanning a pretty large sample size.
Perhaps it isn't the same everywhere (it probably isn't), but it sure is in large swaths of the country.

It is two felonies - IF they prove that it was a "controlled dangerous substance" in the bag. They may just be waiting on lab results to provide the requisite evidence.

White kids often do get those drug charges wiped. But im not sure even they could get off on a gun and drugs charge.

Oh no, I agree. I wasn't talking about the Cam/Hootie thing. You reach a certain point and money and privilege can't even save you.
Was responding to some of the examples posted on the last page of sentencings in Louisiana for drug only related stuff.

Wouldn't surprise me if they file a lawsuit for defamation of character and the police officers are forced to resign.
Not happening. Unless the police were framing Cam and Hootie, neither a suit for defamation will occur, nor will any cop be resigning. And a frame job seems very unlikely.

Do you think since this appears to be their first offense and given their age that the DA will want to hammer them by piling on to the initial charges? Is the DA a hard arse that has a zero tolerance policy and wants these guys to serve hard jail time to teach them a lesson or not? I mean it's drugs + guns one of which was stolen. That's bad a first blush IMO. But I don't know the DA's history on shite like this?
All I know is that if it was me or you, all charges would have been filed regardless of our age or criminal record.

All of the articles cleary say they had weed. Which is classified as a schudele 1 controlled substance. Though it is only weed, the government puts it in the same category as herion, coke, MDMA, and LSD

Maybe in Alabama or Mississippi, not so much in Louisiana.

That's different from providing evidence in a court of law.
...QUITE different.

In Georgia.
And I find it pretty hard to believe that in Louisiana the ability to hire an good, expensive lawyer doesn't generally equal to a more favorable ruling than having to rely on a public defender for drug charges (not the gun stuff like Hootie and Cam have, that's a different matter).
Maybe Louisiana is different, but I highly doubt it.
