“””Case won’t be dropped. Sullivan is going to give Flynn about 3 years for lying to the court.””””
How do you get sentenced when the case was dropped by the prosecutor?
You get sentenced because he plead guilty.
As a judge, you say “I accept your plea. Because the government failed to provide recommendations , I must use the i reaction from the sentencing guidelines. Therefore, you are sentenced to.....”
That is how the judge does it.
And I would bet that is how it plays out.
the judge can’t also be the prosecution

“How do you get sentenced when the case was dropped by the prosecutor?”

This road can go a few different routes, but at the end of every route, Flynn is a free man.
