Someone facing 20 to life in prison at age 50+ will do some drastic things including suicide. As far as assassination squads it's not out of the question but they maybe a bit more subtle in their methods now days.

I don't predict any dem/lib suicides. They don't have enough self respect or conscience for such a measure.

I've heard there's a Marine squad in DC. Don't have a clue if there's any truth to it...however, I do get your drift. 50+ 20yrs in a fed pen ahead of them could get some strange actions out of them.

However, I keep having flash backs of the Sandy Burglar sentencing.... ;o(
If that'd been a regular citizen, we'd be in a fed pen for at least 20 yrs.
