Isn't too new but still relevant.. How it is down south Judge Gives Teen 60 Years For Driving With A Suspended License Florida judge #MatthewDestry is being called out for handing down a bizarrely harsh sentence to a young man who stood before him for a crime as minor as driving with a suspended license. A petition to remove #JudgeDestry from the bench has been launched by the victim’s family. They explain that #HerbertSmith was sentenced to 60 years in prison for nothing more than a violation of probation due to a drivers license suspension charge. The sentencing judge, #MatthewDestry, presides over the Broward County Clerk of Courts. Now, there is a Change.org petition against the judge for his clearly extreme sentencing. According to Smith’s family, the judge has been known for over sentencing African Americans to the absolute maximum penalties allowed under the law. #browardcounty #wakeup #negusnews
