My numbers aren’t wrong. They’re the plea deals he was offered. Two deals, 4 months in prison or 6 months and opportunity to argue for a lower sentence in front of the judge. You’re the one giving incorrect numbers, he couldn’t possibly have been sentenced to 50 years. According to his attorneys, the prosecutors believed that the most they could achieve at trial would have been 7 years. A very different number from 50 years. I suggest you look into the case a little before making statements like this. Techdirt may not be the best source either.

He'd already rejected the plea bargain. He was going to stand trial at that point. > According to his attorneys, the prosecutors believed that the most they could achieve at trial would have been 7 years. A very different number from 50 years. And a lot more than 6 months. You still haven't answered my question. If he didn't kill himself because he feared prison, then what happened?
