I’m not an attorney (but I stayed at a Holiday Inn last night!), but (IMHO): to have the perp get away with just probation probably won’t happen unless the police agree to have the charges dropped/reduced.
True story: I have a nephew who got drunk and depressed (going through divorce) who discharged three guns a total of 16 times inside his roommate’s home. The police originally charged him with nineteen felonies, but the judge reduced the charges to three felonies (not sure why). But then the case was dismissed entirely because his roommate (the plaintiff/victim) dropped the charges. I was told the roommate did that because he was in possession of some illegal guns in his house, and he didn’t want his house searched again by the cops.
Yes, I know, what a depressing and sad story re: my nephew.
But the point is, in order to get the charges greatly reduced, the police (the victims/plaintiffs) will have to agree. After what happened and because the perp went on TV, coming of as a smirking and completely remorseless @ss, I don’t think the police will be in a generous mood.
>>How is this not a RICO violation?
Jeff Sessions is going to get right on that.
It's not up to the police. It's up to the DA and the prosecutor.
I understand, the DA decides what charges to present to the judge. But why do you think the DA would be so lenient? I don’t know that much about Bill Montgomery, the DA.
I don't think he would since he will want to stay on good terms with the police. Just saying that he's the one who makes the call.
“But why do you think the DA would be so lenient?”
Well, let’s see. Soros has spent how many millions installing hand picked far left States Attorney Generals all across the country? And now he is spending even more millions installing hand picked far left District Attorneys all across the country.
When we let absolute evil buy its way into absolute power, we get absolutely screwed.
