What those who defend Akino fail to remember is that he wasn’t given his sentence based solely upon the danger to the public displayed by this crime, it was based upon the fact that he is a re-offender. He has had a chance, but went right back to the same life. He wasn’t even supposed to have a firearm, he wasn’t supposed to commit violence crimes, he had been through the system and he didn’t care, he did what he wanted to do. If you still present this kind of danger to the public AFTER having been to prison, you will be gone for life.

Life?? and he did not kill anyone. That Molino case where that woman actually killed her husband, Shooting him while his back is turned and the after the shots from the back, she shot him in the back of the head, and through all of that she got 2 years and less than that bc she served time in jail already(white couple). The system is really screwed up. I agree with Mike, Life is too much but at the same time I’m no defending him bc you do the crime you do the time. Black and young and a white judge?? really come on Florida. Do better. Overkill for sure.

REGARDING:
” But then again if you’re a young black man in Florida facing a white judge, you will get the worse punishment anyway. I’m not defending his crime but life is an overkill”

In a way, you ARE defending his crime when you say it wasn’t bad enough to deserve the mandatory punishment set by law — regardless of race. He tried eight times to murder Monie Dixon by shooting him in the back, hit him four. Isn’t his life worth consideration too? What about the others he endangered? Don’t they count?

I’m sure we all love Akino, but at some point you gotta say, “Enough is enough.” He had promised to stop doing things like this. Maybe this is what it will take to help him keep his promise.

If you only want black judges to deal with black shooters trying to kill black victims, say so. Then lean back and consider how you called for judgment based on race rather than crime. I guess you should call for only black law enforcement officers, lawyers, judges, correctional officers and taxpayers paying for the crimes.
(It would certainly reduce the burden on those you reject for being white.)

Be not hasty in thy spirit to be angry: for anger resteth in the bosom of fools. (Ecclesiastes 7:9). That is why he is going to prison ‘nice guy or not’!

@S.D., your right!! I’m glad he’s off the streets. I’m pure sure the judge will give him the life sentence he deserve and should of been got from the last shooting case he had. But justice is served and not we want have to be worried about guys like Akino anymore. Lock em up and throw away the Key.

The wittnesses at the bar shorting didn’t back out, they just weren’t truthful. It was all over a woman that they both were messing with at the same time. And they both almost lost their life behind nothing. Akino keep your head up

@Tarrence Wright
Your friend, Akino, did not lose his life to the system. He lost it to his own choices, decisions and actions. All people are responsible for the choices they make, for the decisions they make and for the actions they take. They have to be held accountable when they make the wrong decisions. You are correct about one thing – “do the crime do the time”.

REGARDING:
“Jackson faces a minimum mandatory of life in prison when he is sentenced in May”

If the minimum mandatory is life in prison and the maximum is life in prison, I wonder what his sentence will be.
