Owen Shroyer may have decided to take a plea bargain because he lacked the financial resources for good lawyers and because the prison term will give him an opportunity to report directly on the DC gulag. He will have a job at Infowars when his prison term is over.
I don't blame him for taking a plea deal. Depending on his circumstances, I might have advised him to do exactly that.
My point is that the issue is settled and it's a done deal by the time you get to sentencing. It's hard for me to generate much interest in the case once it's gotten to that point.
