    No. he got here illegally, and if he wants to be a lawyer he should know our laws. he should get his citizenship an get a green card. then become a lawyer. who's going to want an illegal immigrant defending them in a case?

    I agree with Andrew, if he wants to become a lawyer for our country, go for it. But at least obey ours and become a citizen before-hand.

    Not enough time in prison to me, only a little over 2 years in prison but 5 years of supervised release? Seems a little backwards if you ask me
  • Brittney Russell on 02 May 12
     
    i think he should have more time in prison. just because he does it 5 years ago doesn't mean hes going to stop doing it. once a sex offender always a sex offender.

    Reynolds is a coward. why have to serve federal prison time when all you have to do is register? not the brightest criminal.

    Norway's alleged mass killer testified on Thursday that he played video games as a way to train for a shooting spree that killed 77 people last summer. In particular, Anders Behring Breivik said at his trial that he played "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2" as a means of shooting practice, according to CNN's report.

    If video games influenced real life, the 80's would have been filled with Italian Plumbers and really bad Russian Architects.
