Should’ve listened to them high priced lawyers
Which is why AOC went there
Amen, FRiend.
I bet she’ll still take a plea. She can accept a deal all the way up to just before a verdict. My guess is this is a precursor to her taking a deal. She’s sending out a signal that she’s now open for business. Her starting bid is to try to get the same sentence as Huffman.
Bet she cuts a deal for 30 days and $50k.
I think this is the most likely outcome. She will pay some kind of fine maybe some community service. No jail time.
She’ll get some time if she cops a plea. If Huffman got time, she’ll get it too. Question is how much? I predicted 30 days - double Huffman’s.
I think a deal is still going to come. She faces up to 40 years if she loses at trial. I doubt she would get that, but the uncertainty is got to be crushing her.
I think she’ll settle at around 30. At most she gets four months.
She missed the window. Plea deals are offered to the first to give details. The big guns have been indicted some even pleading guilty. She’s got nothing
She is wrong again.
I agree.
AOC went to Boston U.
Both are private schools.
Privilege isn’t a crime. Greasing someone’s palm for access to something happens all the time. Her crime was stupidity, but driven by good intentions—helping her kid up the ladder to a good life. True, she doesn’t seem to have done a great job raising the kid, but that’s not a crime either. Had she stolen the money for the bribe it would be different; but it was her money.
The coach is the one who needs to go down. Maybe she can buy herself some immunity by helping to put him away.
I can’t understand why they always go after the one who’s already been burned in cases like this: paying off politicians or black-mailers. Rarely it seems, are the ones profiting from the arrangement getting any attention.
Yes they are
We shall certainly see. Over 94% of charges result in plea deals IIRC. Her BEST deal may be gone. But I’d be surprised if she isn’t offered another. I’ll betcha an imaginary beer on it.
You don’t get it. Plea deals are done to get more information to get the big guys. Laughlin is not remorseful and refused the offered deal. She’s not going to be treated lightly
So you’re on for that imaginary beer then eh?
Lol I got into Brown. Was chasing a girl at the time. Came to my senses and stayed in the Heartland.
