They're largely cooked--read the indictments in their entirety or watch two lawyers geek out over it. They were way too brazen, and even a conservative judge would have their hand forced by the law and public interest. These are the consequences of criminal behavior, and all criminals must face this eventually; I know because I've been locked up quite a bit and am familiar with the machinations of the US Justice system. They are in for complete psychological torture. I literally couldn't imagine a worse punishment for these people whose realities depend upon narcissistic delusions and extrinsic reinforcement. It will be a painful disintegration for any person, much less an aged person with affluenza. They will experience isolation reserved for the worst people alive because of their profile and because of Thomas Silverstein making the Ultramax system airtight. Trump's most likely end point is 100+ feet underground in Colorado, with all the other high profile crims, having destroyed all friends and family.
The RICO charges is an unappealable AND unpardonable 5 year minimum sentence, for example.
I will get such a raging justice boner if you’re right.
This sounds too good to be true
Lol. Yeah, because the law and public interest has stopped them before.
Just watch; they have Judge Cannon in zugzwang. Also, at the end of the day, there will be jury pools deciding, just as with the indictments.
