D'oh!

I love stupid criminals. So you're sitting in a court room waiting to hear your sentence after being convicted of a drug charge. You got lucky enough to get released after being found guilty, so you're a free man.

The prosecutor looks at the jury and recommends life in prison.

Your lawyer says that isn't likely, you'll probably get a fine and up to 10 years of probation and you'll be out of jail in 24 hours. The jury goes out to make their decision, and you go to the bathroom and start to freak. Life in prison? So you make a break for it and lead police on a high speed chase thru the mean streets of Fort Worth, Texas. The police catch you, hitting your car with a police car and then using a taser on you when you resist arrest. Was it worth it?

Nope, the jury had come back with a sentence of $1,000 fine and 6 years to be served as probation. The judge revokes your 10 year probation and sentences you to 180 days in jail. Oh, don't forget about that felony resisting arrest charge. That sentence is coming and could be up to 2 years in prison.

D'oh! Should have stayed for the sentence and you would be a free man.
