Judge Gives Man 60 Years In Prison For Driving With Suspended License (xpost from GD) [View all]
Not The Onion!

Florida judge Matthew Destry 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 Judge Destry from the bench has been launched by the victim’s family.
They explain that Herbert Smith 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, Matthew Destry, presides over the Broward County Clerk of Courts.
