Pettingil’s line of work makes it hard for him to be “yough on crime” as he’s always trying to get his clients a lesser sentence….
Agreed! What a conflict of interest. There are no loyalties. The dollar rules.
Justice Simmons=slap on the wrist
Slap on the wrist hey, depends on who you are or should I say who you ain’t.
The whole justice system is a big joke !!!!
Is he Bermudian? If not, send him packing after a few years in the slammer. I hope he doesn’t have a sick, Bermudian wife and twins at home to tug at the heart strings of the moonbats and call the European courts.
Yes he is Bermudian.
@United: What a stupid question!
Hey Stupid.. stop calling people stupid.(Stupid Mo Huron) now I get what your handle means!! LOL
any relation to the other “Roberts” who did time for the same type of offense a few years back…..I believe the parents went up as well…..
Ohhh I can just imagine how good that weed couldve been.
I bet you if they weighed it up now on the scale it would be like 10lbs lighter… : / I wonder why. hahaha, they need to have a public viewing of them getting rid of the stuff.
And also.. he brought the stuff in, I wonder how customs missed all them narcotics.
They were probably on ‘holiday’.
Yes, very surprising that the great customs people missed all that stuff. Are they doing their jobs? Not likely.
How do you know that Customs didn’t do their jobs and it was a controlled delivery, to not only get the drugs but the importer as well…. TWAT!!!
Any relation to Kirk Roberts? He and his parents were implicated in a drug matter a few years ago. Would be extraordinary if the whole family were locked up!
they need to ask him who he was selling the bullets to
An international drug running arms dealer is what he is .
Wonder what happened to the other guy’s that got caught with him.
