You'll be shocked, I'm certain, to know that the judge who handed down this absolutely insane "punishment" is none other than Judge Reggie McKnight (Democratic Party). Another shocker: Gov. Roy Cooper (D) appointed McKnight to the Superior Court on December 3, 2021.
Reggie: "McKnight was named a Top 100 Trial Lawyer by the National Trial Lawyers in 2014. He has also been recognized as a 'Super Lawyer' for two years."
So, a brotha don't want to hang prison on a sista who just made an honest mistake, right? "Super Lawyer" my ass.
