Do you think Nancy did the right thing by asking for leniency?


68 y/o Grandmother, Nancy James was in court today to hear the sentencing of the 16 y/o teen who shockingly BODY SLAMMED and DRAGGED her into the pool in a shocking viral video in Florida...

Leon Balfour turned himself into police after attacking her at a North Lauderdale, pool party when she asked him and his friends to turn their music down...but party goers turned on her and told Leon to "throw her in"...that's when he picked her up and threw her on the ground..then dragged her into the pool along with her dog..

Leon apologized to her in court and was sentenced to 200 hours of community service and a nightly curfew as Nancy told the judge to go on easy on him and give him a lenient sentence..

Judge Elijah Williams called him "dead man walking" and Leon responded with "I mean this from the bottom of my heart that i had no intention of inflicting any pain or harm on you" and Shekita Johnson, Leon's mother was very apologetic for what her son did and convinced him to himself in..

Nancy said "What he did was a very cruel thing. Very cruel. Very inhuman". Then she turns to him and says "You have so much ahead of you. You're a young kid. You've got college. You got hopes. You got dreams and you know what, unfortunately this will follow you forever." But Nancy had forgiveness in her heart and didn't want to ruin Leon's life and begged the judge to give him community service...

Nancy suffered bruises on her arms and had undergone surgeries on her hip and heart and was frightened when the incident happened. But despite the traumatic experience, she saw Leon with a promising future, even if he did a stupid thing..

On the way out of court, Nancy waved her finger at him before touchingly grabbed his chin..

Do you think Nancy did the right thing?

Given that he was only getting community service anyway, the appeal for leniency was pointless... although the leniency bought him service instead of prison, which I'm all for. I'd rather see most petty criminals get service instead of prison on early offenses.

Do drugs usually make people smash old women off the floor? I know alcohol doesn't.

It being a drug-induced violent attack should up the ante if anything.

I think "did she do the right thing" is a stupid question. Since she's the victim, it's her right to have an opinion on how lenient or harsh his sentence should be. There is no right or wrong answer, aside from what gives her peace.

Alcohol reduces impulse control and increases reckless behavior while, at the same time, diminishing motor function. It's entirely possible he was trying to toss her into the pool and colossally fucked up.

Well, encouraging leniency in smaller youth offenses is generally preferable to putting them into prison, given that it can screw over their entire career. And, of course, forgiveness is more virtuous than holding a grudge. In those senses, leniency is the right choice.

I was thinking something similar. I voted 'no', meaning that the 'right' thing to do is let whatever consequences befall him befall him. but the fact that it wasn't the 'right' thing to do is what makes it humble and compassionate. guy better be grateful, because that's way the fuck more than he deserves.

He didn't do something dumb, he did something moronic, cruel, and reckless

He is a garbage person and in the end her forgiveness will only benefit herself since an individual with that kind of mindset is going to find himself behind bars in no short amount of time

@Mead, stop acting like you've never done a dumbass thing that was forgiven.

What he did was very terrible. But still, if the victim says "forgive and love", isn't that the best course of action.

Calm down dude. It wasn't your grandma, I hope.

It was a dumbass move egged on by a group of dumbasses. He is the focal point but not the sole instigator.

What happened, shouldn't have, but learning from it, is paramount.

You pretend to be straight because you like the attention from women. That isn't a huge difference. Call your parents, tell them you're gay, accept who you are.

Yes, asking for leniency was not wrong for a grandmother. She was 68 and in the eyes of a 68 year old, an 16 year old kid is very young and child like.
If it was the right sentence, I have no idea, don't know much about the situation, circumstances, character.
