POKER INFO - PROILE - Amarillo Slim

I don't know any real details about the case. I'm aware of the basic facts but that’s about it.

He pled guilty to some misdemeanour charges. The felony charges were dismissed.

Maybe Slim subscribes to child porn sites and travels to Thailand to fuck 11 year olds. Maybe. I don't know

However...

He pled guilty to three misdemeanours. He copped a plea.

Facing serious charges is a scary thing. It really is.

I would like to think that if I was accused of something, like, child molestation that I would fight my corner and endeavour to prove my innocence no matter what. However, and I'm being honest here, if I was seventy-five years old and someone offered me an out I think I'd take. At seventy-five I wouldn’t need the stress and expense of a trial. I would not want to spend my last days in a Texas prison. That's for sure.

I saw a figure somewhere, I can't recall where, that the government wins 97% of the cases that go to trial. Think about that.

I'm 75 years and they offer me an out. No jail. It all goes away. I think I'd take it. It's very easy to sit here and say, "I'd never admit to anything that I didn't do especially if it involved a child." It's easy. However, really think. Ask yourself.

Your 75. There's an out. An easy out.

If it's a choice between people thinking the worst of me or leaving my last years as I free man I'd take the freedom.

Don't get me wrong, Slim could be as guilty as sin. I don't know. I really don't. I'm just saying think about the situation.
