Minus credit for time already served. Not a very stiff deterrent to terrorism.

Don't underestimate the power of a felony conviction! Lots of doors slam shut for you.

24 years old and an ELF p*ssy too! I think he's going to be VERY popular in prison.

I Blog BooksWell.... he'll never get that dream professorship sinecure now.

Just as well - he wouldn't be able to understand the students anyway.

He faces at least five years in prison, according to prosecutors.


How about work camp until the $2 million is worked off, then prison time as suitable punishment for his crime.

It IS a ray of hope. A judge here in Los Angeles calls 'baloney.' Very good sign.

If that is all he gets, he will be getting of light. He should get 10 years minimum. This is a radical, terrorist movement. This was a planned, coordinated, orchestrated attack on society.

I practice no criminal law (no, not trial law, either, but commercial litigation), but my recollection is that there is no parole in the federal system. Unless his sentence is initially probated, he will do what time he is sentenced. Someone whose practice is more criminally oriented may be able to shed some light on this.

It's 85%. So if he gets a normal first-offender's sentence (5 do 1) he'd do 10 months and a little change.

Excuse me, but been there, done that.

This guy is claiming "autism" as his problem.....when he's a candidate for a Ph.D. in an intellectually-heavy academic field?

This guy is mocking those with authentic autism.

In the federal pen, he's looking at some real hard time: one hour out his cell per day, shower once a week, no TV, no weight room...
