Wes has prior convictions, he attemped to murder someone with a gun. ]]> 2022-10-27 15:56:26 UTC https://padlet.com/akearns18_1/boo5bevxpk3e/wish/2359318169 https://padlet.com/akearns18_1/boo5bevxpk3e/wish/2359321344 slanging drugs and murder.]]> 2022-10-27 15:58:18 UTC https://padlet.com/akearns18_1/boo5bevxpk3e/wish/2359321344 https://padlet.com/akearns18_1/boo5bevxpk3e/wish/2359322843 He should be given a reduced sentence because he grew up in a bad life, and was taught bad things by his gangster brother, Tony.]]> 2022-10-27 15:59:01 UTC https://padlet.com/akearns18_1/boo5bevxpk3e/wish/2359322843 galvez34371 https://padlet.com/akearns18_1/boo5bevxpk3e/wish/2359325553 One of the biggest missteps that Wes made was going back to selling drugs after he was caught by his mom the first time.]]> 2022-10-27 16:00:39 UTC https://padlet.com/akearns18_1/boo5bevxpk3e/wish/2359325553 https://padlet.com/akearns18_1/boo5bevxpk3e/wish/2359326847 I think one of the reasons wes didn't have much control over his life was because of the environment he lived in, he was around a lot of drugs and gangs at a young age so it was a matter of time before he got involved in those things ]]> 2022-10-27 16:01:31 UTC https://padlet.com/akearns18_1/boo5bevxpk3e/wish/2359326847 https://padlet.com/akearns18_1/boo5bevxpk3e/wish/2359328632 He should be given a full sentence without parole because he tried to kill people and knew better.

The strongest argument the defense could make is that Wes grew up without a father and an unavailable mother that forced him to rely on his brother's influence who was a drug dealer and a gangster. 

2. The strongest argument that the prosecution could make was that Wes is a dangerous person who already has a record of attempted murder and of drug possession and blew his last chance to walk the streets freely again. ]]> 2022-10-27 16:03:51 UTC https://padlet.com/akearns18_1/boo5bevxpk3e/wish/2359330573 https://padlet.com/akearns18_1/boo5bevxpk3e/wish/2359330881 Drug dealer and murder ]]> 2022-10-27 16:04:03 UTC https://padlet.com/akearns18_1/boo5bevxpk3e/wish/2359330881 tankersley33861 https://padlet.com/akearns18_1/boo5bevxpk3e/wish/2359331007 The strongest argument that can be made by the protection is how Wes had a prior conviction and is a known felon for gang and drug activity.]]> 2022-10-27 16:04:08 UTC https://padlet.com/akearns18_1/boo5bevxpk3e/wish/2359331007 https://padlet.com/akearns18_1/boo5bevxpk3e/wish/2359333246 One of the biggest mis-steps wes had was that he starting selling drugs again after not getting paid enough from a regular job ]]> 2022-10-27 16:05:36 UTC https://padlet.com/akearns18_1/boo5bevxpk3e/wish/2359333246 https://padlet.com/akearns18_1/boo5bevxpk3e/wish/2359334095 One of the biggest missteps that Wes has made was after he stopped doing drugs for good , because he saw that he was not getting money, he decided to get into the easy and dangerous way and keep selling drugs again.
