Which is a lot of fucking time. But ha, he's a dumbass, so he'll be right back in the slammer. Who knows, he might not want to leave. Maybe he'll get to liking that butt ring.I understand that in federal cases, unlike in many state cases, the prosecution canāt make an offer for any specific lower sentence. The judge gets to make that call regardless of what the prosecutor and the defense think might be appropriate. But the main stick is the US Code section defining the particular crime. In the case of seditious conspiracy, the law lists it as: āthey shall each be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than twenty years, or both.ā
I assume the judge will shave off a fair amount for the plea, but will still feel compelled to bitch slap the defendant as an example. It is possible that the defendant could serve no time. But I wouldnāt bet on that, either. Pure guess; heās going to get 5 years or more.
