Politics Manafort goes on trial tomorrow

yeah...the thing that is crazy, is that he would do less time (under guidelines) for murder.

 

...aww, and now your precious message board persona's feelings are hurt...sorry, but you can "ignore" me if you choose but as for me, I will post as I see fit and to whom I see fit.

...deny it all you want but, (and I'm sure you will) but the majority of your "likes" seem to be directed at the Trump humpers ever since I started posting here.

 

Double damn

 

...uhhh, no kidding?... You ever heard of "parole"?...Longer sentences pretty much negate the chances of that.

 

It isn't just one charge. He has 18 separate charges each having a sentencing guideline. What do you think 18 separate charges of murder entail?

 

He's probably destroyed multiple lives. Think of all the lives he may have cost the country of Ukraine. I'm having a hard time feeling sorry for him.

If he would only sincerely express regret I could get on board with a reduced sentence perhaps even releasing him while he is still alive.

 

NO ONE likes being called a liar and no one in here should call another a liar. I'm with you on this.

 

Beer party?

 

...saying "BS" is the same as calling someone a liar?

 

Wait a minute, he didn't call you a liar. He's saying there's a gross error in your post. That's different. If he had said you erred in your post and you knew it was wrong then he'd be calling you a liar. I did't see that.

 

...lol...gotta be...there's no other explanation.

 

...thank you, Lanny.

 

Nope, it isn't.

 

I dont know, that is how I read it.

 

Generally the longer the deliberations go the better it is for the defense. We shall see.

 

Normally, yes, but in this case the evidence is just so so overwhelming.

I suspect that they're more interested in determining a sentence, if they have any say in the matter. After all, the rest of a man's life is at stake.

 

I know you to be honest. So, I'm gonna believe what you say.

There are few people that I disbelieve. Trump is one.

Perhaps my views on people are why I got taken for $20,000 by a building contractor, who, among other things, put on a new roof but didn't even nail it down. It got a little windy one day and my shingles started sliding off the roof. He did other work almost all of which had to be redone. The worst part is that my wife smelled a rat early on and I talked her out of it. OMG, since then I let her make the decisions except for my technical advice.

 

I cant even imagine how you could put on a roof like that...I take it we are talking three tab...jeesh.

Yeah, on the wife thing...whenever we have to get some bill in line or correct something, I let my bride do it...she does a far better job.

 

The judge sets the sentence, not the jury.

 

In this case, I'll take your word for it, but in some cases the jury either decides the sentence or assists in that decision.
