Wow. You got two years for that? Sounds like a misunderstanding. I lived in the STL area and now live in Chicago. Can confirm laws are very different in MO vs IL. Also can confirm Cook County jail is hell on earth (from what I've heard from friends locked up there). Good luck with the future my friend. Sorry that shit happened to you.

Yep I miss STL but I had my reasons for leaving, mostly because a lot of my friends were dying of heroin overdoses. Came to Chi, got a great job and trying to keep my nose clean (no pun intended lol). Now it's kinda hard to leave but I'll head back down South eventually. Our justice system is so fucked in this country, especially in Illinois. I cannot believe they took away 2 years of your life for basically a technicality that a good (expensive) lawyer coulda got you off of. Fucking crooked Illinois, bribery and money rule everything. But what can you do, unfortunately it happens all the time and will happen again. Since this is an AMA let me ask a question- what are you plans when you get back home? You think it will be hard to get a job with a felony on your record? Maybe a cheaper lawyer in STL can help get this expunged from your record?

That is correct
