I almost didn't want to comment on here because of the rage and anger that I feel about it. The only comfort that I get (and hopefully Roy Brown feels the same) is that in the end the judges will get their own judgment day just like everyone else.

My issue is with the obvious lack of compassion the judge had for a man who obviously has a hard life and who committed a crime practically out of necessity and then turned himself in. A year in a really good rehab would have done far more for Mr. Brown as a member of society then just attempting to ship him off to disappear into the jail system for 15 years. I think someone should look into the judge who tried Mr. Browns case and there needs to be an appeal ASAP.

Comment by Chris Asrk-pa El on July 6, 2012 at 1:15pm: I am highly surprised and disappointed that no one posted to this yet but to start it off; as a american citizen and potentially homeless "minority" this is grave injustice that could happen to anyone under the right conditions.
But sad to say is the norm not just for this country but for this whole world filled with prejudice.
