Top High School Basketball Recruit Receives Three-Year Prison Sentence

Summary:

Tony Farmer, a High School senior and one of the top 50 high school basketball players, was sentence to three years in prison. He went from total popularity, and head person on the basketball team to being behind bars. What happened is Farmer was declared guilty for robbing, kidnapping, assault, etc. He would have gotten a college basketball career if he hadn't done all those crimes. His reaction to his 3-year sentence in the courtroom was total unhappiness and he almost cried. No one will ever feel good about doing bad and that's exactly what happened with Tony Farmer, if you're doing what's wrong you will never get away with it.

Reflection:

It is sad to see such a good player be had to choose the wrong decision and then he got caught for the things he had done, and that’s why before you do something think first, will this affect me later? What he did was wrong and now he has to pay the consequences by going to prison and not making it and it is now hard and what he did to his girlfriend was wrong, and I know that if it’s a fight you have to talk it out and not solve it with this retched violence.
