Well, it's a start.

Od course some court will reduce it.

kurikai , to Legal News in Rebecca Grossman gets 15 years to life in prison for killing two young boys with her car in Los Angeles

Not long enough

kylie_kraft , to Legal News in Jury convicts Trump of falsifying business records in hush-money scheme

So now we run the very real risk of a felonious president who pardons himself on Day 1.

What a functional country we have ourselves.

BearOfaTime , to Legal News in Judge’s blunder throws wrench into case against Paul Pelosi attacker

Most likely. It doesn't void the guilty verdict, he just has to be re-sentenced.

Starb3an , to Legal News in Backpage executives acquitted of previous prostitution, money laundering convictions

A jury convicts them then the judge just throws out some of the convictions??

Yes. The Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure gives judges immense power.

In conclusion, after viewing the record in the light most favorable to the Government, the Court finds there is insufficient of evidence to support convictions under Counts 19–51 <...> and Counts 66–99 <...>.

We should start saying that kid that got the Pac man Tetris kill screen is the greatest arcade game player in history. Just to piss this weird old man with a dyed "beard" and cheap AF looking American flag tie.

BlemboTheThird , to Technology in Notorious arcade gamer Billy Mitchell settles suit over Donkey Kong world record

But Twin Galaxies' own lawyer, David Tashroudian, faced misconduct claims of his own after he improperly contacted two witnesses in the case — prompting Superior Court Judge Wendy Chang, who's overseeing the case, to consider referring him to the State Bar for discipline.

I'm no lawyer, but this seems like small potatoes in comparison to Mitchell's actively fabricating evidence and lying under oath. Absolutely shameful that after years of litigation TG's case falls apart thanks to an idiot lawyer. Hope that lawyer gets paid nothing and Jobst's lawsuit goes better; Mitchell needs to see real consequences for the years of intimidation and lies.

They, however, reached a settlement that is undisclosed.
