A 36-year-old San Antonio resident, Larry Isaac, was sentenced to 35 years in state prison last week for possessing 32 grams of methamphetamine.
The Kendall County District Attorney’s Office initially sought the first-degree felony charge of manufacturing and distributing the Penalty Group 1 drug, due to the large amount found in Isaac’s possession, but a jury found the defendant guilty on the lesser possession charge. The lesser charge is a second-degree felony.
“I get no pleasure out of seeing mothers and fathers cry on my witness stand because they’re going to lose their son for decades more into the system,” 451st District Court Judge Kirsten Cohoon said before handing down the 35-year prison sentence. “But your short years here on earth – you’re not even 40 – have brought you to this situation that now you and I are intertwined into this position.
