I wouldn’t call it exemplary at all. In addition to the alternate ajudication program, he also had burglary charges dropped. He was in his 20s at the time, not a teenager making mistakes. He benefitted from his father being a judge. Isn’t this the privilege some of you so often point out?He didn't walk because he was rich. Nor did he avoid justice. As a first time offender he was offered an avoidance program in exchange for having the charges dropped. Basically DWI school. His life since has been a testament to the change he has made. It's been nearly 20 years now and his life in those 20 years has been exemplary.
Guess your dad wasn’t a judge that could pull some strings on your behalfAs a teen, I made a similar mistake, driving an unregistered car without a license or insurance. I entered a similar program, and offered to join the US Army in exchange for the dismissal of charges.
He was 26 at the time. That is not young. That is an adult with full faculty.Young people make stupid mistakes.
LOL. I am not old and his mistakes were not the result of youthful indiscretion.Old people like you make even stupider mistakes like thinking a young person should pay the rest of their lives for a stupid mistake that hurt no one.
By insider trading?I'm very much in favor of taking responsibility for one's mistakes. But after that a person must be allowed to prove they have changed. Beto has done a tremendous job doing just that.
I am not off base at all. Mistakes made at 26 are not youthful transgressions. There is a pattern of behavior.You're way off base here. I suspect it's related more to political bias than actual outrage over his youthful transgressions.
