That's tragic, I assumed to get 25 years he must have killed somebody

You can get 25 years for stealing a pair of socks in parts of the US.

There are those out there that would likely say he killed many. The war on drugs etc. I personally wonder what he would have achieved if unconstrained, if he can do as much as he has while in prison.

It'd be interesting to see where he takes his career after coming out of the halfway house thing he's in.

It's all speculation, but my guess is he wouldn't have achieved much and would probably be dead.

What difference would 5, 10, 15, 20 or 25 years make?

In other words do you think that he will achieve something today that he would not have been able to achieve 5 years ago?

I was thinking more along the lines of, "if he hadn't gone to prison, what would he have achieved."

I haven't read much about him, but if he was a dealer and trafficker in cocaine, I think there is a high probability that he would either be dead or not have accomplished much.
