MIAMI - Quartavious Davis is still shocked by what happened to him in federal court two months ago.
"My first offense, and they gave me all this time," said Davis, a pudgy African American with dreadlocks who spoke with Reuters at the Federal Detention Center in Miami. "Might just as well say I'm dead."
Davis was convicted of participating in a string of armed robberies in the Miami area in 2010. His accomplices testified against him, saying he carried a gun during their crimes and discharged it at a dog that chased them after one of their burglaries. But Davis was not convicted of hurting anyone physically, including the dog.
Davis would occupy no place at all in the annals of crime if not for his sentence. Now 20 years old, he was sentenced to 1,941 months - almost 162 years - in prison without the possibility of parole.
On the day of Davis's interview with Reuters, the U.S. Supreme Court decided that life sentences without parole for defendants under the age of 18 constituted "cruel and unusual punishment" even in cases of murder. Unfortunately for Davis, he was 18 at the time of his crimes.

More than likely he'd probably be in and out of jail the rest of his life anyway.

Quartavious? Really?

I wonder what your thoughts would be if it were you. Yea I know you would not do that, but what about 1 one for running a redlight or some such. I can see 15 to 20 years, but 160 years. That is extreme.

0.0In one recent, highly controversial Florida sentencing, Marissa Alexander, an African-American woman in Jacksonville with no previous criminal record, was sentenced to 20 years for firing a pistol twice into the air while trying to ward off an attack by her abusive husband. Denied the protection of Florida's controversial "stand your ground" law, the 31-year-old mother of three was convicted of aggravated assault, a felony, and given the mandatory sentence for anyone who fires a gun in commission of the felony.

Depends on whether he exposed the gun or not.
If he brandished the gun during multiple armed robberies, not a single fuk is given... if he didn't, that seemed harsh.

18 years old is considered an adult, 162 years seems a bit excessive but he should get a lot of time for a string of armed robberies

If this happened in Australia the armed robber would be given 5 hours community service and additional government benifits at tax payers expense...
