- tptacek 7y agoThat's not how sentences work. Read the federal sentencing guidelines.
- MertsA 7y agoNot to nitpick, but it's not like the sentencing guidelines are binding. The judge can still choose to hand down a sentence outside of what the sentencing guidelines prescribe. Case and point, Paul Manafort and his "otherwise blameless life".
- tptacek 7y agoI'm just going to say that the sentencing guidelines capture 50 USC 1705 directly and are written in such a way as to suggest that North Korea is exactly what they were thinking of.
