Wow, just wow. Those 15 years in prison are really going to straighten this young person out ... NOT! This young man's sentence is going to be just 15 years of training to become an even more hardened criminal upon his release. If we are lucky he will commit enough crimes in prison to keep him there for even longer.

Respectthelaw... What do you propose for a sentence for a 17 year old thug, who committed attempted murder on a deputy who was transporting him? A time out? Do the crime, pay the time...

Whats really sad is that if Mr. Meadows was driving a vehicle while drunk, and struck Deputy Bassett and killed him, Mr. Meadows would have probably received a much lighter sentence. Also the article did not say why Mr. Meadows was being transported by a Coffee County Deputy to the detention center. But I agree with part of RespectTheLaw's opinion, Mr. Meadows most likey will be a career criiminal. When he finishes serving his sentence, he will be 32-33 and have spent almost half his life in jail/prison.

He should have thought about that before he tried to kill the deputy.

lupusman, of course he would have received a lesser sentence if he had killed him while drunk driving, because it is a lesser offense! It is not the same thing to get drunk and get in an accident that kills someone versus purposefully bashing someone's skull with the intent to do great bodily harm.
The article did say he was being transported for a violation of probation. When one county doesn't have a juvenile detention center or if theirs is full, they will hold the child in a nearby county's center. That's what happened here.

Attagirl, so if Meadows ran down your child while driving drunk and killed him/her, you would condone a lesser sentence than if Meadows just beat the snot out of your kid and broke an arm or two? Where is the logic in that?

If Meadows ran down my child while drunk driving, I'd be the one on trial, not him. But to answer your question, yes I believe a sentence for DUI manslaughter should be less than violent, planned attempted murder and robbery.

Parents bring them up in the way you would have them to go, and they will not depart from it.
