Source: The Lima News, OhioAug.迷你倉新蒲崗 29--LIMA -- David Cheney has done a lot of thinking over the years on how the country should tackle the nation's illegal drug problem.As a judge seeing people commit crimes over illegal drugs, Cheney said Wednesday during a sentencing hearing in a murder case involving drugs, his mind is changing."This case is a poster child for the consequences of the drug culture," Cheney said.Cheney's comments came just before he sentenced Charles McGuire to 25 years to life in prison for a robbery he ordered another man to carry out that led to that man's death. McGuire was convicted of murder, aggravated robbery and aggravated burglary. McGuire was convicted under Ohio's complicity law, which allowed a jury to find him guilty of the crimes because he ordered the burglary and robbery.The charges were for the Dec. 27 death of James Gipson, who McGuire sent to rob people inside a home on Catalpa Avenue. A member of that household owed McGuire a drug debt plus an outrageous amount of interest. McGuire sent Gipson to collect on the debt in exchange for dropping a debt Gipson had with him and some additional money.McGuire denied involvement in the crime. He admitted to being a drug dealer but s迷你倉出租id a possible life sentence was too harsh for selling drugs."I'm sorry for the events that happened but I did have nothing to do with it," McGuire said.A crime victims' advocate read a statement from Gipson's mother, Sally Gipson, which explained how the loss of her son has ripped a hole in the hearts of his family members."My tears come every day. They come from nowhere and they come from everywhere," the advocate read.Cheney said if there's any questions the illegal sales of drugs, even in small amounts such as a $40 deal in this case, can have serious consequences and turn out really bad, this case is a prime example."Now make an argument to me that the drug culture isn't serious and it is something that has to be resolved short of legalization," Cheney said.Prosecutor Juergen Waldick said McGuire was a neighborhood drug dealer who exploited people. He said this crime was not completely about a drug debt but to show people he could do whatever he wanted."The defendant lived in a neighborhood where he ruled that neighborhood," Waldick said. "He exploited it."Copyright: ___ (c)2013 The Lima News (Lima, Ohio) Visit The Lima News (Lima, Ohio) at .limaohio.com Distributed by MCT Information Services迷你倉
