I have no problems with drug dealers so long as they've not harmed anyone. His rights have been violated, he should be released and probably compensated for the clear violation of his rights. 2 years? Egad, have we become a third world country? This sort of bs happens places like the Dominican Republic... not the USA. What happened to his right to a speedy trial? I have no problems with drug dealers so long as they’ve not harmed anyone.

People should be able to do drugs if they wish,it's only a crime because it's been designated so. If it hadn't been for prohibition the US would not have had such problems with organised crime. Make a thing illegal it doesn't go away and it becomes the preserve of criminals. Irrespective of all that,this incareceration may have been illegal,but the grammar of the headline is a true crime.

It doesn't matter what his alleged crimes are, that right is fundamentally American. Everyone involved in his case should be ashamed and the judge and prosecutor should face penalties for their lack of diligence. If we lived our constitution we would make examples of those people.

The jail he's sitting in my be a way nicer place than the prison he may be destined for. The time counts towards your sentence. Also if the delays can be blamed on the prosecutors and courts, speedy trial issues may come into play. sometimes it pays to keep your mouth shut. It could be a tactical move.

People should be allowed to make voluntary choices, regardless of how stupid their choices might be. Of course, I also don't condone punishing people before they've been proven guilty, which is exactly what happened in this case. If he's found guilty, then the two years he spent in jail should count as time served. If his sentence is less than two years, or if he's acquitted, then he should be awarded large sums of money.
