You suspect well, I do not.
Let me ask you another question for which you and I do not know the answer. Since she got 2 years in prison, she was not promised (i.e. she did not sign any binding agreement with the prosecutor, beyond "we will do our best to get you a lenient sentence") not to go to prison. Why then not a sentence of 5, 10, 15 years in prison?
- AlbertCory 2y agoI don't know how that all plays out, to be perfectly honest.
- s1artibartfast 2y agoWhy not just nail her to the wall after the fact? Is integrity of the prosecutor a valid answer?
- AlbertCory 2y agoIn almost any profession, your word is all you have. Welsh on someone, and no one will trust you anymore.
- borroka 2y agoI did not say or believe that the prosecutor lied or they should renege on their word, far from it. I said that if she got two years, it means that the agreement Ellison-DA was not for no prison time in exchange for cooperation. Thus I asked why two years and not five or ten of whatever time under the expected sentence time in case of no cooperation.
- s1artibartfast 2y agoThe prosecutor doesn't pick a time, and cant promise it. The judge selects the sentence. This judge thought 2 years was reasonable after the fact, and was not bound to it.
- AlbertCory 2y agoRead who I was replying to (which was not you). They said, "Is integrity of the prosecutor a valid answer?" Yes it is.
