Idiot convicted after withdrawing guilty plea

[u/saabister]

" ... authorities said Oliveras committed multiple officer assaults, entered the Capitol three times – once after being forced out by police - and yelled that he wanted to execute traitors and forcibly removed members of Congress."

Hope he gets the full 20 years.

[u/SpicelessKimChi → u/surprise6809]

Based on the sentences doled out for similar crimes thus far he MIGHT get five years. And that's if he doesn't woo the judge by saying he's so very sorry and that he was a victim of the propaganda that he just couldn't ignore. That's apparently a valid defense these days.

And in interview with the FBI, Oliveras, to a question about his participation in the Capitol siege, stated, “I wouldn’t change a thing, I’d do it again.”

Kind of difficult to woo a judge with remorse after that, this guy might be in a special kind of trouble.

[u/SpicelessKimChi → u/2fingers]

Have you been following any of these cases? That's literally what these fuckfucks have been doing the entire time and the judges have been eating it up and givng them relatively light sentences.

This guy deserves 20 years but won't get even CLOSE to that, guaranteed.

You are referring to people who pled guilty, not the people going to trial and being convicted. Ask Enrique Tarrio about his "light sentence"

[u/SpicelessKimChi → u/HiImTheNewGuyGuy]

Tarrio got 22 years but prosecutors wanted 33.

Rehl got 15 years but prosecutors wanted 30.

A long time, sure, but pretty light considering the maximum and requested sentences. And considering the crimes they committed.

I want to know what planet you are on where 15 years in Federal Prison is light.

[u/FattyMooseknuckle → u/trumpsiranwar]

I think you missed the second part of his sentence.

[u/SpicelessKimChi → u/trumpsiranwar]

For seditious conspiracy!?

I mean, for something like possession or theft, that's a lot. But for conspiracy to commit sedition!? Nah, thats too light and not a strong enough deterrent.

[u/buffyfan12 → u/SpicelessKimChi]

u/spicelesskimchi. This is federal court. Not state.

Prosecution wants this, defense wants that. And the judge literally goes through a worksheet to determine the sentence. They have to show their work and justify the sentence. Why?

Because the sentence can be overturned on appeals

No one is getting maxed at every point. So stop that.

[u/plastigoop → u/SpicelessKimChi]

And then outside the courthouse go right back to the same crazy BS they were on before.
