On defense strategies, not good
WATE:
Chicago native Colin Scott came to Knoxville five years ago to attend Knoxville College. But prosecutors say he and Knoxville resident Dwight George Williams began buying guns to be sold or traded in Chicago.
Court records show Scott and Williams bought 49 guns in less than a year, then took them to Gangster Disciple member “Snake.”
Prosecutors claim it was a scheme to arm a street gang, but Scott’s lawyers say their client was trading the arms for marijuana, which he smoked daily.
How about instead saying you sold the guns to fund building an orphanage? Sure, it’s probably a lie but it’s more noble than funding your weed habit.
