It's actually 6 years max per false statement charge, so in total 30 years.
- lolinder 3y agoLiterally the next sentence after what you quoted: > He pleaded guilty Monday to one count of each charge, and the other counts were dropped. He was indicted for five counts and two, but that just means that's what the prosecution was going to try to get him for. He pled guilty to one of each, presumably to avoid an even harsher possible sentence.
- qingcharles 3y agoStandard plea deal is usually pleading out to one or two charges from a whole host of shit that the prosecutor threw at the wall, but probably couldn't get a conviction on at trial.
- ahepp 3y agoI don't believe that's correct? https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/1006 https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/1006 I believe this may be the same law referred to as "the headshot" in HBO's The Wire? The creator of the show discusses it further online: https://davidsimon.com/kwame-brown-another-federal-case-another-head-shot/ https://davidsimon.com/kwame-brown-another-federal-case-anot...
- elteto 3y agoThanks for the USC reference, I read 5 counts but glossed over the fact that that was the indictment. And thanks for the piece on The Wire, that was a nice read.
