He should be sentenced to 30 days in jail. Then have that reduced to home arrest. Then if he completes his 30 days of home arrest they expunge his record.
Seems fair to me.
Hope jury nullifies.
If he's taking a plea deal, there won't be a jury.
The article didn't say if he is, unless I misread.
He just pled guilty.
That doesn't mean he took a deal.
Why would someone the government hates be given the cushy treatment afforded to someone the government likes?
Rubbish ruling, rubbish rule.
We're going to remove death from the options, but then also allow the rules to be completely broken in favor of the prosecution.
Not sure why he'd plead guilty, he was at my place all day and night
Still my favorite Luigi.
