That was only mentioned AFTER he died Maybe to outsiders, but Aaron and Aaron's lawyers both knew the six-month plea deal was on the table. The DOJ publicly said "up to 35 years," and they deserve what they get for saying that -- -- but Aaron's lawyers didn't just fall off the turnip truck. They knew federal sentencing guidelines. Even if guilty on all counts, there were good odds that Aaron would face 0 days in jail, being a first-time non-violent offender. There was a 0.00% chance of Aaron going to jail for 35 years.
