I am serving a 25 year to LIFE sentence for selling a small
piece of concrete to an undercover officer in violation of the Health and
Safety Code--not the Penal Code! This
undercover officer had been pleading with me, in front of my pregnant wife and
two children, to sell her some meth--or “anything.” Even though I berated her for asking this in
front of my family, she persisted.
Finally, to get her away from my family, I went to the driveway and
picked up a small piece of concrete and sold it to her for $20.00. I was arrested a block away for the
non-violent offense of violating the Health and Safety Code (11355). My
children have been without a father to provide for them physically and
spiritually since May 15, 1997
