[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If they get any jail time for more than 6 months (that is if they get any jail time at all), that will be a huge surprise. Talking about privilege associated with money. 50 years in the book? That's just joke.[/quote]

Can anyone explain why they're looking at 50 years in prison? I'm sort of floored by this.[/quote]
1. Because we've hypercriminalized everything.
2. Because notwithstanding #1, they're applying laws that were originally designed to catch gangsters.

They won't get 50.  I hope they get >1 of actual time though.  Presumably they're banking on the fact that they're popular, she's an actor, and they'll convince a juror (1) that they're just trying to do what was best for their kid and didn't have any idea of the bigger scam.[/quote]

If they do get more than a year, I bet it'll be just a hair over -- over one year and you are eligible for early release for good behavior. I had a client sentenced to a year and a day for that reason; judge was being merciful, realized he'd get out early.[/quote]
