“Stephen Fletcher II tried to grow some psychedelic mushrooms in his Lawrence apartment. Tremain V. Scott shot and killed a man at close range during an armed confrontation, then, according to an eyewitness, took the victim’s gun and shot him with it as he lay on the ground. An autopsy showed the victim had been shot 18 times.
“Both Fletcher and Scott are in their early 20s and have little or no criminal-conviction record, their attorneys say. So who’s facing the stiffer sentence? Fletcher, by double.” (Eric Weslander, “Mushrooms v. murder: Sentences in Kansas don’t all fit the crime”, Lawrence (Kan.) Journal-World, Nov. 30) (via Free-Market.net)
