Started by Sam Harrelson · 1 year ago

Wow.

    Actually, local news is saying he was using and giving out to others. So, distribution, not trafficiing.

    Should we bother with a trial or just storm his office and string him up?

    How about the other local politicians and well known dignitaries that played in the snow with T-Rav. I noticed that the P&C has very little about this story, jeez I wonder why. Who are they trying to protect. I hear this story hits close to home with them, those in the know, know what I’m talking about. The party in the battery, the hidden cameras, those who flipped and mentioned names. A good investigative reporter could have a field day with this story and probably sell a screenplay. City Paper and The State-keep on top of this story because you own it. The P&C doesn’t want to get dirty with this one.

    The federal mandatory sentencing for first offenders is 500 grams or more for a 5 year mandatory sentence.

    Under SC law 44-53-370

    between 400-500 grams of cocaine is a mandatory sentence for first time offender of no less then 25 years and up to 30 years.
    Gee… I wonder why SLED bowed out… (f’ing snark)

    SLED investigates and brings charges, Ravenel gets 25 years… FBI investigates and brings charges, Ravenel doesn’t meet mandatory sentencing.

    ..but you can’t hide.

    If Ravenel is convicted of distribution of cocaine, he can serve as much as 20 years in prison. I would say that it is more likely that he will cut a “plea deal” to serve a short amount of time behind bars along with probation.

    If Ravenel cuts a “plea deal”, in other words, “pleads guilty” then the Feds should insist that he roll over on a “Bigger Fish” If he does not roll over, then he should do some serious jail time with the rest of the “Cocaine Distributors”.
