Stupid is as Stupid Does: Social Media Posting Contributes to Life Sentence
November 2, 2011
The Roanoke Times recently reported on a case in which a once promising hip-hop musician pled guilty to his role in a major crack cocaine distribution ring and ended up with a life sentence.
Among the evidence facing Derrick Evans was his posting on his MySpace page of a video showing him next to a shoe box full of cash while wearing a T-shirt that said "Can't sell dope forever."
It boggles the mind that someone would think that posting that video was a good idea. Although it sure made the prosecution's job easier.
