Sentenced to 21.5 Years in Prison
I found out Sunday that my cousin was convicted and sent off to prison.
I looked him up in the Michigan Offender Tracking Information System. Looks like he was charged with three different counts of felony firearms possession and two different police officer assault charges. His earliest release date is listed as 8/14/2025. I'm guessing he got the minimum sentence (2 years) on one firearms possession charge, the maxium sentence (7.5 years) on another firearms possession charge, and the minimum sentence (12 years) for "Assault with intent to do great bodily harm less than murder." No idea on his parole status, though.
He looks like he's almost smirking in his mugshot. Which would be typical. He's such a hardass. Idiot.
Even though it's sad, it's not at all surprising and he totally deserved it. I can't believe it hasn't happened sooner. I suspect the punishment might not have been so harsh had there not been police officers involved, especially given the two Detroit police officers that were just killed.
On the bright side, my grandma will now be free of all the trouble he's caused. She deserves that.

Emily, is this the same cousin who recited Friday as we watched it?
I really really really dislike criminals.
Man, I have no idea what to say to this.
*hugs*
Um, wow. I'm sorry that this is happening to your family.
Yes, that's him, Bridge.
It's fucked up to think he'll be like 34 when he gets out (although they're trying to appeal).
On the one hand, I think he was a little harshly sentenced or maybe harshly charged, b/c I really don't think he was intending to assault an officer or whatever. But on the other hand, if this didn't happen, he would just keep fucking around and bring all this shit back to Grandma's house.
But he's supposedly found Jesus now, so maybe that's good.
Finding Jesus might be good, provided he doesn't get all Derek or George Bush on you.
