Never made a mistake as a 17 year old? Would you like some decision you made as a 17 year old to prevent you from ever acheiving your potential for the rest of your life? If someone lived in an impoverished country and some junk was out there that made it a better shot of getting out, you can't blame a kid who makes a questionable decision. They know there is no test before hand, and they said this stuff was in his system before he got to the U.S. He'll serve his time and hopefully be done with it. Melvin mentioned that it's almost always the latin players. You don't think these kids are being sold a bill of goods by some "advisor" as their ticket out?
