way more than meets the eye here. a short account isnt what happened. and why didnt his cronies just say he wasn't involved at all.
and in general just being in a room or place that had drugs isnt a crime unless they can prove he knew or was part of it.
unless he was still on probation for something else and consorting with criminals. but it seems he had a record and that would be a problem in sentencing not conviction, especially taking a plea deal unless it was confirmed exactly what he was facing. and likely he didnt have that or he would not have let that lengthy sentence happen unless he was found guilty.
and the cops had to have a warrant to burst in so this wasnt just a case of some drugs in a room.
when you are offered a plea deal they show you the evidence against you and what you may face if in the event you are found guilty.
and that evidence must have been substantial for him to accept a guilty plea.
just because he is a great pool player doesn't mean the politicians or judges or police or d.a. are all crooked and framed him for something he wasnt involved in.
