Hi DCUM lawyers! Does this all mean the max sentence is 20 yrs or 40 yrs?

(Rooting for 40)

'I love you', he mouthed towards Anna, 33, who remained composed throughout the brief hearing before burying her head in a supporter's arms and weeping as it ended.

His younger brother Justin cried quietly as he watched his sibling being led away to jail.

Jim Bob, 56, put his hands in his pockets, bowed his head and then hugged Anna.

Judge Timothy Brooks remanded Duggar in custody under a mandatory rule based on the seriousness of his crimes and said he will have to wait around four months to be sentenced.

Wonder why it is going to take 4 months for sentencing.

CPS hasn't been able to interview his children yet, because his mother was blocking it, and I'm guessing the judge wants to dig into the molestation claims of his sisters brought up during testimony. Those things will impact his sentencing. Duggar Data did a pretty good analysis of how they think the sentencing will go: https://duggardata.tumblr.com/post/669591048088059904/realistically-if-he-is-found-guilty-what-do-you

Someone posted upthread that he will be sentenced for only one charge. So 20 years. And this is federal, so there's no time off for good behavior, and they usually go for the maximum. I expect the full 20 years.

"We" are not ignoring it, people have been calling this out for years.

So Josh and Anna sold their marital home in February 2020 -

Since then they moved their 7 kids into Jim and Michelle Duggar's guest barnhouse. I guess that's good that Anna doesn't have to worry about housing. She'll be Michelle little live-in for the rest of her life.

One can only hope that she will wise up and divorce him. Even with 7 kids she is young and could move on to get married and have whole new life

Doing the math… I’m getting an Offense Level of 35 or 36. Even with Josh’s Criminal History Category of 1, that still yields a Guideline Sentence of 168—235 Months, or 14–19.6 Years. Some of this could maybe be served out–of–custody, on probation… Maybe.

One final note… The statute specifies that the penalty shall not be <5 Years.

I think this particular judge has tended to give 8 years for similar charges, but he seemed awfully salty with the defendant, so I imagine it'll be double digits.

This guy is obviously a very sick person.

I hope the jury makes the right decision and he is thrown into the slammer and the key is tossed in Niagara Falls.

I agree that TLC is morally responsible here, in addition, obviously, to those insane parents.

I hope whatever it is, it's long enough to take Anna out of child-bearing years.

I think everyone is rooting for 19 years and counting.

This is not something we should be celebrating. This is sad all the way around. There are real victims here, victims of Josh’s child abuse, victims of exploitative child porn, and his own kids who will lose their father for a very long time.

You should apologize.
