I think it has premediation, and I hope that the scumbag is also ordered to spend the rest of his natural life in a 4x4 cell with no mattresses.

(23,765 posts)I personally think that he will plead to manslaughter-get a small negotiated sentance. Then the shit will fly again, the Feds will charge civil rights violation (and the Feds don't play fair) and he'll get another 5 years, plus 3 years probation tacked on..this whole thing will probably run to about 15-20 years by the time it fully runs it's course and he walks out of the Federal halfway house and is discharged from probabtion.
