Hey, Don’t blame Ravenel for being honest when he was giving a detailed accounting in the PSI. This report was supposed to be kept confidential. The judge broke precedent by reading it out to the public! He was that desperate to justify his sentencing of a casual, occasional user, who made some bad personal mistakes in judgment. The judge was using this PRIVATE REPORT to argue with THE PROSECUTION! I know you are concerned about kids hearing this and justifying their drug use, saying that Ravenel was successful and he has been using drugs since he was a teenager. This is NOT the case! It is so unfair that this PRIVATE, PERSONAL report was used to characterize someone who tried drugs as a youth and later, as an adult, made some bad mistakes.

Will you have to publish this somewhere. I can’t get it to go thru on the appropriate blogs. It was patently unfair for the judge to throw this out like red meat to a ravenous public.
