All I can say is WOW! The Judge seems to be stuck on either 4 or 7 years, but I guess he could have gave them the maxium. Or did he? Maybe he just wants to make sure he gets the tax payers of Missouri money's worth. I'm going to be in Dexter next month to visit while my Mom has surgery and it scares me. I don't do drugs or steal and you can bet that I will not drink one beer while I'm there. Some day these judges will be judged and it may be just as harsh.

I have to agree. This is a TOTAL WASTE OF TAXPAYER MONEY!!! Put the murderers, molesters, rapists and terrorists (cowards) away first! I'm totally against drugs, but this is a waste of our money. This must be that idiot Briney Wilborn at work.
