Already top class rapper Kodak Black was sentenced for 3 years jail time when he pleaded guilty due to him being arrest at a concert due to weapon charges. While being in jail is when the interesting happens. He is claimed to have beaten an officer grabbing his genitalia and trying to rip them off. With frustration he was threatened with more jail time. Kodak Blacks Reps responded claiming that Kodak Black was drugged in jail which caused this incident. Kodak has claimed he has been in classes trying to control himself while also asking for his later sentence to be served at a rehab center. It is still up in the air if Kodak was actually on drugs. If it is held true does he deserve more prison time? Also what should the outcome of him being drugged in jail be? I think that he should serve the rest of his sentence in an off site location with the chance to go to rehab in his later sentence. If it comes out that he was not actually drugged he should be held responsible for his actions and given the appropriate time added on.

This brings up an interesting debate about whether individuals should be held responsible for their actions while on drugs or if they can blame the drugs. One can argue that someone made the decision to take the drugs so they can then be held responsible for their actions afterwards. However, if Kodak is claiming that someone else drugged him and it was not his decision then it’s different. Because he did not make the decision to take the drugs it is hard to say in my opinion whether he should be held responsible for the actions he committed.
ReplyDeleteI agree that if Kodak was drugged by someone else, then his actions should not be given the same consequences as if was on drugs himself. I believe that if one is on drugs themselves, then the drug defense should not be able to be used. If you are taking certain drugs that will make you violent, then you should be responsible for your violent actions. However, if he was drugged by someone else, then I believe a good part of that consequence should be held on the person who drugged him.
