they're charging him with terrorism, was he ever going to get a plea deal that was even remotely worth taking?

Dude wants to be famous and seen as a martyr this is his chance

i think they want to roll the dice

I can understand that, but that's exactly why I would offer him a halfway decent plea deal as the DA. Maybe offer 25 years at medium security, as opposed to being guaranteed to die at ADX Florence.

snow

its a state case, right?

snow

12:06

not federal?

Unrepentant-Caucasian

12:06

Oh yeah, my bad

snow

12:07

you're good, i was just making sure. yeah, i would take it to trial

snow

12:07

you just need one juror

snow

12:07

but i think that if i were the state, i would not be scared to bust the jury if i had to

Unrepentant-Caucasian

12:08

I mean, you only need one juror to get a hung jury and a retrial, you need all 12 to get found innocent

I do not see him doing a long time, if he is not punished hard then more (less attractive) crazy people will come out and start murdering for social justice and expect the same

BulbasaurNoLikeCardio

12:08

*him not doing a long time

snow

12:08

need to see what all he is charged with tbh

snow

12:09

and the possibility for parole in new york

snow

12:09

in texas murder is a 3g offense and he would have to do have that time before parole eligibility. idk how new york works

snow

12:11

half

Too public of a case, they have to go hard on the dude and in a couple years when people forget I am sure he can apply and get a lesser sentence or possibility of parole added. Dude needs to blame all the self medication he did

snow

12:13

that works in his favor that the case is public, at least this case. thats why i think the state shouldnt be scared to bust the jury if they really want to get him

Unrepentant-Caucasian

12:14

@snow: I don't know what you mean by "bust the jury"

Unrepentant-Caucasian

12:14

Can you elaborate?

I also do not forsee him being the kind of person being able to function and be good in prison. Going to be a wake up call

BulbasaurNoLikeCardio

12:16

He thinks his back is broke now... wait until Bubbah shows him what a broke back really is

snow

12:16

yep, in jury selection you get a panel of jurors come in and from there you eliminate the ones that you dont want, until you get twelve. "busting the jury panel" means that there wouldnt be enough jurors to form a jury for the case so they would have to get another panel

uw sending cycle update emails when they've had me in complete for 2 months is crazy work

snow

12:17

so if i were the state, i wouldnt be scared to go through multiple panels to get a good jury. the judge would probs be mad but oh well

windyMagician

12:18

he'll be fine in prison. he also probably has a fed case being built against him.

BulbasaurNoLikeCardio

12:18

I imagine getting a non-biased jury will be very hard

snow

12:18

thats why the state shouldnt be scared to go through multiple panels. the judge would probs get mad but its your case to prove
