Anyway...Another blog about a state court case huh? <br />Anyway, I've always tried to interject age into sentencing. For a younger defendant it is lack of maturity and scientific evidence about brain formation and the inability to understand consequences. For an older defendant it is the diminishing probability of recidivism (committing new crimes for the judges that read your blog). <br />How much is a sentence should be a punishment and how much should it be for for protection of the community? The problem here is that the crimes seriously altered the lives of the victims and this is a case that falls on the punishment spectrum. I think he's lucky to get twenty and I do not think he survives it. Plus LA is going to pile on with another case and he's not going to win that (unless he hires certain lawyers from the 305 area code). What a tragedy and fall from grace but the guy is all by all accounts an unrepentant predator. <br /><br />If the over/under is ten then I'm taking whatever money I have left after the market yesterday and putting it on over. No way it will be ten on his best day.<br /><br />This is Rumpole but I'm signed out of my account for complicated technology reasons. <br /><br /><br /><br /> Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9615048.post-44702449365002060482020-03-09T17:08:17.988-04:002020-03-09T17:08:17.988-04:00Why is it done with letters?Why is it done with letters?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9615048.post-7982672882227577002020-03-09T16:11:34.062-04:002020-03-09T16:11:34.062-04:00Over/Under is 10 years.Over/Under is 10 years.the trialmasternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9615048.post-42064593646778849462020-03-09T14:03:05.547-04:002020-03-09T14:03:05.547-04:00How do you expect someone to know what an appropri...How do you expect someone to know what an appropriate sentence is without the prosecutor's recommendationAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9615048.post-41989771677470793212020-03-09T10:42:09.259-04:002020-03-09T10:42:09.259-04:00Who caresWho caresAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9615048.post-18470881587440482782020-03-08T23:28:15.545-04:002020-03-08T23:28:15.545-04:00Absent hiring a CJA attorney from the SD Fla., the...Absent hiring a CJA attorney from the SD Fla., there was nothing that could have been done better.
