the only person cruz might square off with today is his judge. he s now in a holding cell waiting for transportation to court. where he will be sentenced for drug possession with intent to distribute in a school zone. i m staying close by the door in case there is a way out of this [ bleep ]. as the men wait, the group of female inmates also headed to court, enters the holding area, and cruz has something to say. thicker than a bowl of oatmeal. and i ain t scared. i m going to tell you. but about an hour later in the courtroom, cruz takes a more somber tone as he addresses the judge. in 16 years i haven t done anything but stay home with my girlfriend, took care of the family, took care of the kids. cruz s plea deal makes him eligible for up to four years in prison but he hopes to convince the judge that all he really needs is a drug rehab program. in 16 years i haven t been in no trouble.
