Dude kills himself in court after getting four years for growing pot and poppies

Pretty crazy story, thought I would share.
What would you have done? I can't say for sure myself. If it was life in prison I would have done the same, but just four years? Well it's still a long time and my mental health isn't great, so I can't say I blame the dude.
Still some fucked up shit. Dude should've stabbed himself right so he would die almost instantly, instead he lived for 30 minutes of agony.

A man in a Taiwan courtroom committed suicide after hearing his prison sentence over marijuana charges reported the Taipei Times.
The Taipei Times reported the man was 41-year-old U.S. citizen Tyrel Martin Marhanka, who had lived in Taiwan for over 15 years where he was married to a Taiwanese woman and had a son in second grade and a daughter in kindergarten said court officials.
Marhanka was standing trial for marijuana possession as well as other narcotics for which he was arrested last year in April. The Taipei Times reported more than 200 cannabis plants, 195 dried cannabis plants and 10 opium poppies, were discovered by police at a rented house.
Despite the large amount of drugs Marhanka reportedly told police the plants were for his personal use and that he grew them as a "hobby."
The grisly suicide happened Thursday morning. Witnesses said the judge read the sentence, which was then told to Marhanka by a translator. Marhanka was reportedly heard saying, "Four years?"
Marhanka was also reportedly heard saying "I don't want to appeal" when the translator told him he could appeal the ruling.
"I don't want to live anymore," Marhanka yelled, according to witnesses, as he took out two metal objects (one in each hand) and stabbed himself on both sides of the neck. Marhanka severed arteries with witnesses saying blood was gushing.
The metal objects were identified as a pair of scissors Marhanka had separated. He died about 30 minutes after reaching the hospital said medics.
In a press conference Thursday afternoon held by the district court, presiding judge Wang Yi-min said the court was going to improve the court's building security by installing an X-ray machine
Anyways I love you all. Off to go get high and drink vodka and order Chinese.

4 years in a Taiwan prison could be fucking brutal. Just as bad or worse then our prisons i'd imagine.

Four years for all that isn't that bad. Don't get me wrong, he shouldn't face any crime. But this guy is in jail in America for two joints on his third strike for 13 years

It could be the case that he did it under pressure from gangsters, or maybe circumstances of his absence, like maybe his wife leaving him with their kid or something, left him feeling there was no other choice.

As a teenager I spent 4 years in a psychiatric facility where I was psychologically abused. 25 years ago now, and last night I still had a dream trying to come to terms with the horror of it.
So I can relate.

No an actual psychiatric facility, at the time it was still cool to drag kids to a closed ward, tie them up and sedate them by needle with so much drug that they'd be shaking with parkinsons in their restraints, and to threaten them with getting that treatment when they were simply being kids.
I never got THAT treatment but they had other ways to terrorize me.

Sound horrible, I've heard you speak of it in the past, though I am curious to hear more about it or search for other threads you have talked about it in.
I understand the horrible dreams though. I still have horrible jail dreams. Jail was a horrible experience for me that I didn't expect or deserve and they took away most of my meds I was on and had been on for years. I wasn't even in that long, but the dreams still scare me to death.

They tried to catch me, but I was too quick and got away. It scares me to think what they would have done if I had submitted or been overcome.

American Prisons are actually some of the worst prisons in the world actually. There's definitely worse countries, but the US is no picnic. In part's of Europe being in prison there is like being stuck in a retirement home or another similar type thing. It's almost like a forced vacation
You would think in Taiwan they are way more strict about drugs though. I don't blame the dude though, fuck going to prison. I'd rather die too. It just shows the courts how fucked the system is too. Like oh no, he was growing weed. Well now he's dead bc of your archaic laws
If I was goingto prison for life, I would 100% kill myself. At that point, why extend the inevitable?

Dude its bad yeah but what do you think its like in a Zimbabwe prison? Being free there is less comfortable than a US prison.
