BARTOW | It's three years of probation for Mercades Nichols, one of the principal defendants in the infamous videotaped beating of a Mulberry High School cheerleader.

Circuit Judge Keith Spoto sentenced the 18-year-old Friday as part of an agreement in which Nichols pleaded guilty to battery and tampering with a witness.

Prosecutors agreed to drop a charge of kidnapping, which carried a maximum sentence of life in prison.

She and her four remaining co-defendants are responsible for paying $1,752 in restitution to the family of the victim, Victoria Lindsay. Nichols also must do 100 hours of community service.

Remember the video from last year? They got off too easy if you ask me. I'd throw the books at those scumbags. I'd put them in a woodchipper feet first.

Probation?

FFS.

What is wrong with our judicial system?

We sure did.  It was a sad thing to watch.

I can't believe the DA let them plead out.

I would have thrown the damn book at them.

Damn bleeding hearts. Makes me long for another Pinochet or Park Chung-hee.

You are going to have to explain those to me.

I don't know what you are referring to.

Augusto Pinochet was the leader of Chile from 1973 to 1990. He overthrew Communist Salvador Allende. He than went after leftists and had them all rounded up, tortured, and killed. He also made Chile more stable and capitalistic.

Park Chung-hee was leader of South Korea from 1960 to 1979. He also went after leftists and had them tortured, crippled, and killed. He made South Korean more stable and capitalistic. South Korea is the Asian Tiger.

Both are models of economic success.
