Spencer Allen Boston’s Protest
20-year-old Spencer Allen Boston was arraigned for citations received during a traffic stop for speeding and simple possession of marijuana. During the arraignment, Boston expressed his disagreement with marijuana laws. While the judge advised him to take his case to the legislature, Boston pulled out what appeared to be a joint and smoked it in the courtroom. He was immediately taken into custody, charged with disorderly conduct, and held in contempt of court, resulting in a 10-day jail sentence.
Donta Wright’s Sentencing
17-year-old Donta Wright faced sentencing for the murder of high school student Jordan Klee. Wright pled guilty to multiple charges, including armed robbery and second-degree murder. During the victim impact statement, Wright’s lack of remorse and inappropriate demeanor prompted the judge to consider rejecting the plea deal. However, after a discussion with the victim’s family, the judge accepted the agreement, sentencing Wright to 25 to 52 years in prison.
