| Topic | McMichaels secure plea deal on hate crime charges in murder of Ahmaud Arbery |
| InfinityMonster 01/31/22 7:19:03 PM #32: | They have life without parole and in Georgia, that means life without parole. The only way they are ever getting out is through appeal/pardon or outright escaping. A plea deal for Federal hate crime charges cuts off the appeal route because they're still pleading to something with Federal prison time. A trial could end up being not guilty and if they win the state appeal, they walk. The benefit to them here is that both spend 30 years in Federal prison, which is much nicer than state prison and they wouldn't have to be in protective custody or solitary like in state. The father dies in Federal and the son is moved to state after 30 years. By going to trial now, they're not only wasting millions for nothing, they've opened up the door to possibly get out. Stupid move. --- "It lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of his knowledge" ... Copied to Clipboard! |
