#1 "Almost every defendant who appears in this court says, 'I have now seen the light and if you just give me another chance it won't happen again,'" Coar told Shareef.

#2 Young had portrayed Shareef as a confused young man who had grown up in a fatherless home and fallen under the sway of the informant, a onetime member of Chicago's big, drug-selling Four Corner Hustlers street gang.

Obviously, not his fault. Let this confused young man go and I'm sure he will become the Pillar of the Community he strives to be.
Oh, wait. 35 years. Nevermind...

#8 I remember another similar defendant. His plea?

"Your honor, I can't do 63 years in prison!"

Reply: "Well, son, just do as many as you can..."
