I'm waiting to see how he is sentenced. According to the article he could be sentenced to practically nothing, or he could spend the rest of his life in prison.

- Fuzzwah 13y agoHe could face 136 years in prison.... but avoided the charge which has a life sentence.
- fnordfnordfnord 13y agoRight, the distinction is lost on me.
- kintamanimatt 13y agoYou could, in theory, have 136 one year sentences to be served concurrently. I'm not saying this will be the case, but not every sentence is served sequentially. Also, life imprisonment is a single sentence that means the rest of your life in jail, or until paroled. I believe you can have a life sentence and other fixed term sentences too. You can also have a total of 136 years in jail (no concurrent sentences) which is effectively the same thing as a life sentence.
- MisterBastahrd 13y agoLet's say you're sentenced to 125 years in prison, but they're five 25 year concurrent prison terms. The most you'll spend in prison is 25 years, and that includes the time you've already spent.
- anigbrowl 13y agoMy bet is he'll get a moderate sentence (8-15 year) that Obama will commute or pardon on departure from office.
