If Harris' past can't be used in court, why would Bird's past be used in court? Isn't that a double standard?
Even if the article is true, why would that justify a man spending 3-6 years in prison because he waved a firearm at someone running her mouth, refusing to leave, and being a pest? I could see some prison time for that, perhaps... apparently there was no reasonable doubt left that he did something wrong; but isn't the sentence just a bit extreme?
What's next? Are we going to start cutting the hands off kids who steal lollypops?
