If Im wrong then when this goes through the D.C. court system, and IF he is Guilty it will be pled out to some cheesy manslaughter or something like it because thats how we do it in dodge. And by the time it goes to trial in 2009 he'll have 2 years in on a 7 year sentance, take 18 months off of that for good time and that leaves 3 and a half in prison. The point Im tryin to make is, If he didnt make some kind of confessing statement then The 2nd degree thing stinks |
Without knowing all the facts surrounding the case, no one should assume to know how it all went down. Rumors, of course, are flying about the circumstances. I would urge you not think any kind of "fix" is in, or that any deals are being made. If it goes to a trial, attend the hearings or follow it in the media and then maybe we all can find out what the facts of the case actually are - not what people are rumoring them to be.
