A Prosecutor's son is a man first. He's human just like the rest of us. I didn't know police had to have a warrant to arrest somebody that has weed. Last I heard it was against the law to have weed anyway. I think it's funny to see that our court system's parents are no better or worse than "US NORMAL EVERYDAY PEOPLE" LOL. Their kids break the law too. Hope he gets what he really deserves.

Um. Big deal. He's 21. He smoked pot. Change his last name and no one gives a sh*t.
Interesting Outcome

LMAO...forgot to read him his rights??!! GO FIGURE!!!
Still interesting but fast approaching INCREDIBLE!
What the heck is "quasi-criminal"? Is that where you violate the law but most "officers of the court" have better things to deal with?
What country is this again?

Give me a break! Does it really matter where his son was standing in a home with marijuana. Little Birkett was hanging with criminals because he is a criminal that wanted to get high. All of a sudden this guy has lost his marbles after getting caught with weed. Please!! I'll bet his dad doesn't make excuses or exceptions for the people he prosecutes.
