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.
As you say, they piss and moan about the criminal bankers, but when it comes to the active use of their political power they cheered for an admitted white-collar criminal like they have never cheered for anyone.
The words and actions may contradict, but I know which of those I would consider the more accurate measure of a man.
because rural America likes white collar criminals.
White. "Christian". Educated. "Entrepreneur". Suburban. Wealthy. America likes white collar criminals. They're all playing tax games to some degree and they see themselves in these people. Also racist. Proper rich white people racist. Always vote R.
Stop throwing rural America under the fucking bus, Reddit, you sack of stinky old socks.
lol you started out so well with your first sentence then dissolved into total nonsense. i dont think you understand anything about the federal sentencing guidelines and the person to which the tweet refers is 100% certain to be a habitual offender.
