Actually you are correct, I was off by being way too low. It’s 10 years max per count and he was convicted on two counts.
I hadn’t read the indictment, so I wasn’t sure what statute they convicted him under. The worst that could happen to him is that the judge maxed him on both counts AND ran them consecutively. Very unlikely, in my opinion.
Disclaimer, federal criminal defense is one of my primary areas of practice. I could have explained better but I was just going off the post I responded to stating 20 (for instance, money laundering has a 20 year max per count. That’s why you always hear these ridiculous news articles saying someone (who let’s say was indicted on 10 counts of money laundering) could “face up to 200 years in prison!” Yeah, not happening 99% of the time.
Anyhow, that’s the deal and I apologize for not reading the actual charges. I was in court all day all over the place and was actually cleaning my garage when I replied. Have a great night and enjoy the 4th.
JUDGE WASN’T BUYING LETTING HIM OUT ON BAIL UNTIL SENTENCING
2 10 year sentences served consecutively will not surprise me.
HE ducked LIFE on the other charges.
He’s going to get 15 to 51 months, with time off for time served.
