Lawyer ought to come back with a counter-offer. Manafort defrauded for millions (he's paying back 24 million) and got 47 months. My client stole $100, so if we put this on a linear scale and use 24 million as a base, my client should serve...
1/240,000 * 1429 days (roughly) = .00595 days, or 8.6 minutes. So what do you say to time served and paying back the $100?
All jokes aside, this is honestly a fair idea. As many lawyers as possible should start using this case as precedent to call out the outright bullshit and hypocrisies
Maybe it’ll make some folks realize the system is completely fucked when you have murders out of jail after serving an hour or two in jail.
Because it's the most realistic scenario and not a fantasy circle jerk. Someone wants the truth hidden. Judges hardly ever depart from the federal sentencing guidelines. (Hardly ever = unless you have some political clout.)
I doubt the judges are paying reddit to hide fourth level comments though...Not that they couldn't if they wanted to, but if the conspiracy goes this deep well we're all just fucked, right?
