Looks like his buddy La'Donte didn't fare so well.

But - he did save the taxpayers millions.

What an idiot, he’d have had a great sob story for an early parole had he taken the plea agreement. Only 18, he didn’t fire any shots and it was one of them killed not a civilian or cop. Oh well, see ya when your 50 or 60!

Fixed it for you... Societal net worth: negative $4 million.


Except to those bewailing the school-to-prison pipeline that disproportionately incarcerates young black men behind plainly aracronistic, outdated racist legal concepts so the prison-industrial complex can continue to expand to support patriarchal white privledge.

Then he's priceless.

In my opinion, he should have gotten life in solitary without possibility of parole or change in housing status.

....probably a net saving for the rest of us given what he'd cost via repetitive offenses were he not IN prison added up yearly....

In my opinion he should have gotten life in front of a loaded and cocked 45 placed against the back of his head. This clown is the equivalent of human waste. Pull the lever, flush, and move on.

Very unlikely he will do 65 years. The article says he will be up for parole in 20-25 years, and I would guess that's on the high side.

Smith was charged under Alabama’s accomplice law, “which holds co-defendants can be guilty of murder if a death occurs when they are committing a crime,” the Montgomery Adviser reported.On Feb. 23, 2015, Smith, along with four other people, broke into two homes in Millbrook.

Police responded to calls of the robberies, and the suspects fired at the officer who entered the home they were raiding. The suspects fled the home but continued to fire at the officer.

One of the suspects, A’Donte Washington, 16, of Montgomery, who was armed with a revolver, allegedly pointed a gun at the officer, body cam footage showed. The officer fired at the teenager, killing him.


Am I understanding this correctly - A police officer shoots and kills an armed criminal (good, one less to worry about) and one of the other criminals gets charged for murder of said dead criminal? I'm glad Lafuckup is off the streets but this seems weird.

Just wondering, what was going on in his mind to reject the plea deal? What was going on in his mind to laugh at 65 years in prison? Is his brain really that dysfunctional? Has his life really been that screwed up?

Obviously the product of a deprived childhood who had never seen “Let’s Make A Deal” where lots of time you were better off to take what was offered in hand rather than whatever was behind Door No. 3.




Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me.

When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson

"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown

Well, I opened my garbage can and guess what? The trash that's in there can't do simple math any better than this sack of shit thug.

I will bet it was disbelief he was actually going to prison for 25 years. He'd never faced adult consequences for his criminal behavior before.

I will bet it was disbelief he was actually going to prison for 65 years. He'd never faced adult consequences for being an idiot in front of a sentencing judge.

Is his brain really that dysfunctional?
Yes, but as a function of his upbringing, not genetics.

Has his life really been that screwed up?
Yes. His and countless others raised in fatherless "families" throughout the Democratically-controlled urban ghettos.

The "murder" he's guilty of is of his accomplice who was killed by the police officer?

This makes no sense to me. I would think the accomplice law would kick in if his accomplice murdered someone. I would agree with that. I don't agree with finding him guilty of murder for his accomplice being killed by the police.

Yeah, leave it to you, Keystoner, to express surprise at a law that's been on the books in many states for decades. Why don't you go tell the police, judge and DA about how this makes no sense to you?

That's what I was thinking.... I figure this piece of trash will be out roaming the streets and immediately causing trouble within about 18 years, IF he survives being prison bitch the first few. Hopefully he does NOT!!!

This is the way it is. In law school it's taught nationwide as the Felony Murder Rule.

It's a very simple rule and it's on the books everywhere. If someone dies while you're committing an inherently dangerous felony, you will be charged with murder. Doesn't matter who it is.

Obviously I'm simplifying, but it's more or less that simple. It isn't new, it isn't rare, it is just he way it has been...because felons suck and we don't need them in society.
