[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If he is not going to get the maximum of 20 years then how much jail sentence will he get? Will they release him to go home for a while until the civil case is over? How does this work.? Can someone explain it? is there a possibility of house arrest? I mean, he didn’t do this on purpose. It was reckless and stupid. He was only 18. Maybe I watch too many movies, but they will absolutely destroy him in a federal prison. A young 20 year old boy going in with hardened inmates?[/quote] No one knows what the sentence will be. It's rare to see a case like this go to trial. Most defendants facing clear-cut vehicular manslaughter charges (often from a DUI) plead guilty. I expect that he could have gotten 2-3 years in a plea, and maybe he'll get 4-8 years now, but we'll just have to wait and see. The civil case has no relevance to when he'll begin serving his sentence. I expect that he'll start serving it immediately. It's possible that the judge will defer the start date until he issues the sentence, but that seems unlikely given that the judge ordered his incarceration yesterday. He was convicted of a state crime and will go to state prison, not federal prison. Regardless, the movies tend to exaggerate how bad conditions are; he'll be fine if he keeps to himself.[/quote] Plenty of young people go to prison for lesser crimes. Also he’s not a boy he’s a man. I’m of the opinion that certain young men, the less cognitively and emotionally developed ones need a lot of discipline and structure. He’d have been much better off if his parents had encouraged his joining something, a sports team, junior rotc anything that gave him a physical outlet for his aggression. With an eye to signing up for the military after h.s. graduation, serve a few years get broken down and built back up and then head off to college. Now he’ll be allowed to mature in prison. Not ideal but as he isn’t a hardened criminal going into prison then it may give him the time he needs to grow up and wise up. It will break him down jo doubt but, that is sort of the point, perhaps he’ll figure out that he’s really not so thugilicious after all. Think of prison as hard knocks group therapy with really scary people with really scary problems. Perhaps he’ll figure out going down the straight and narrow is more aligned with his best interests. With time and good behavior he may even get out early with enough time and hard earned wisdom to make something of himself. [/quote]
