Mr. Sabri is not the kind of person I would want mentoring and caring for my family member I was thinking when I saw the "Free Francisco" t-shirts that it should read "Free Francisco from Basim." Speaking of public relations, would the timing of this act of benevolence have any relationship to Basim's upcoming sentencing? Nah, couldn't happen.
