Twelve Years a Prisoner: Cellphone Possession Draws Harsh Sentence for Willie Nash




from Bill Whittle

Jailers failed to confiscate the cellphone from Willie Nash during his booking for a misdemeanor charge in Newton County, Mississippi. He didn’t know it was illegal for him to have it. Now he’s doing 12 years as a prisoner for unintentionally breaking a law. Even the courts acknowledge he was ignorant of the law and the jailers didn’t do their job. When cellphone possession draws such a harsh sentence it’s time to ask where’s the harm? And where is justice in the Mississippi courts and legislature?
