Probably because there is no real information upon which to base a credible rationale for what happened. Basing theories of motivation upon some pictures and the majors of the arrestees is very shaky.
Anyone know what the potential versus the probable prison terms will be? I bet two to five years.
We need to find a definitive article about the possible prison terms applicable, because at first, everything said that it's a "mandatory minimum 5 years per count," which would be one count each for the 9 churches = 45 years minmum.
However, since then, we've seen that the federal charge is just for one church, but it was one that was burned by all three of the alleged perps. Also, I don't know if this 5-year sentence is just for church arson or for conspiracy and arson both, which is what the fed charges are.
There's the other matter that Moseley and Cloyd said they committed the crimes at all 9 churches, but DeBusk only participated in the first 5, in Bibb County.
I also don't know what the "additional charges" are that will come later, like whether the state will prosecute any of these or if they're all considered under federal jurisdiction.
Also, another article today stated they could potentially get a "minimum of 20 years" for the crimes. So, the answer is not as cut-and-dried as it was first put forth.
I heard on TV that there is a mandatory 5 year sentence for each crime. No parole.
