11:56 AM PT -- Alex Spiro is making one thing clear… He says this case is a matter of a broken system that doesn’t view Valon Vailes as a human being.
We caught up with hip-hop’s go-to trial lawyer on TMZ Live. Spiro says that even the initial sentencing of 20 years may have been different if Vailes was “whiter."

Spiro chalked it all up to a broken criminal justice system. He says he simply don't think the government views him as a human being worthy of independence.


So far, there has been no updates on Vailes sentencing in this case.
Welp, now he's got 100 of 'em -- Jay-Z is fuming the feds refuse to release to a man who's served 14 years for weed, and says one of the government's reasons for holding him ... involves a leftover prison meal.
Jay's Team Roc is taking up the cause of a guy named Valon Vailes ... who's serving a 20-year prison sentence for intent to distribute more than a ton of marijuana. Vailes, who was convicted in 2007, reached out to Jay-Z last year asking him to help him get a reduced sentence -- but in new court docs, Team Roc says the feds won't budge over some "ticky-tac" prison offenses.
Team Roc attorney Alex Spiro says Vailes more than meets the terms for compassionate release, but in docs he says federal prosecutors won't allow it because Vailes dared to ... wait for it ... sneak some leftover chicken from the prison mess hall to his cell.


If that wasn't petty enough, in the docs -- obtained by TMZ -- Spiro says Vailes is also getting dinged for merely using a piece of his prison uniform as "workout equipment."
Jay and Team Roc are incensed because they say Vailes, who's now 56, has been a model inmate in every way possible -- he's earned his GED -- and has a "mentally ill" brother at home who needs a caretaker. Vailes' mother had been taking care of the brother, but she died in 2020.
In his letter to Jay, Vailes discussed his frustration with watching corporations and individuals make billions off legalized marijuana, while he rots in prison over it.
Spiro wants a federal judge to reduce Vailes' sentence to time served, and release him ASAP.
 

In December 2007, Vailes, now 55, was found guilty by a jury for conspiring to possess with the intent to distribute more than one ton of marijuana from 2003 to 2007. He was sentenced to 20 years in federal prison with an additional 10-year supervised release.
 
You highlight to prove what point? That if he waited 10 years to make that play the government that arrested him would’ve been his business partner?
I just skimmed through the story, I though he was guy who was caught with a small amount of weed and was put in prison (This happens to black folks quite often). The article says he had moved a ton of weed over a 5 year period. That's a lot of damn weed.

As far as the business partner angle, I didn't read enough into it to understand what you mean.

John Boehner (former Speaker of The House) went from congress to a board seat at a marijuana company. We can't have people applying for permits to grow and sell weed in the same state that have people doing years for selling the same product.
 
Rules are rules. He got locked up because he wasn't following the rules when he was a free man. He's jammed up now because he wasn't following the rules in jail.

Your absolutely right. Unless the rules are constantly changing to be advantageous to one group and disadvantageous to another.

The problem I see is that a black defendant does not have any redemptive value and maybe for good reason.

Those in power know that the cards are slightly stacked if you do everything right, that if you go down a certain path your chances diminish
exponentially.

Blind justice has always been peeking, and herein lays the problem.

Carry on……
