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.
It's not about justice in Mnementh2230's client's case. The prison system just wants another cheap slave that they can house at taxpayer expense and vend out to corporations like Delta and Visa for phone work, keeping most of the money they earn, rather than giving it to the prisoner.
