Years Jailed Paraplegic

If you do the crime, you do the time. Why should an offender be immune from prosecution just because they have a disability or whatever? It is refreshing to see someone sentenced based upon their guilt and the seriousness of the crime. I often see criminals excused and instead sent to the the psych hospital for evaluation based upon a "history" of having some minor mental illness. These criminals have no deterrent or motivation to change because they know they will not be held accountable for their actions.

Well from how I read it, he didn't have the disability prior to the crime. It seems when they stopped he (the paraplegic) leveled a gun at the officer and then was shot. It sounds like BECAUSE of that gunshot he became a paraplegic.

I do not care how he became paraplegic just that he is punished for his crime. Like Alskann stated do not do the crime if you can not do the time. He did the crime so he must pay for it.

Exactly. There are consequences in this life for the choices we make. If everyone knew they would have to face the consequences that go along with their choices most people would think more before making a stupid choice and our society would be much better off.

I was NOT writing in his behalf, merely mentioning that he was not a paraplegic before the crime--but in consequence thereof.

I fully agree that he should have to pay for the crime. It was just an observation.

Well he should not have pulled a gun on the police then if that is what caused him to be a paraplegic. He will have to pay for that mistake too.

For the record, I didn't think you were.
I was glad you pointed this out. I have no pity for criminals injured during the commission of a violent crime. I do have compassion for his father. Even though he seems to realize his son deserves the sentence he still must be dying inside for his son and for what his son has become.
