Someone should point this...if arrested on fed charges and convicted...you don’t go back to your old job or lifestyle that easily.
Thats correct. The Feds have a 98% conviction rate and there is no Federal parole. You get time -you do all of it. 90% of all indictments end in a plea and 80-90% of the remaining 10% end in a conviction. So-go ahead - roll the dice and mess with a statue on Federal property. You may not like the outcome.
As Mark Steyn has observed, "the process is the punishment." Just paying to defend themselves against the charges will bankrupt their parents. And if they get convicted of a felony, even if the punishment is mitigated, their lives will never be the same.
