What do you think the sentence will be? Should be?

I'm guessing 20 years. Out in 10.

I bet they give him 30 with eligibility of parole after 15-20.

In Texas he'll be required to serve half before parole eligibility but will also automatically be eligible after serving 30 years in the event the sentence is greater than 60 years.

My personal opinion is he was a dumb teenager who should have known better but isn't the hardened criminal type. I think a sentence of 25 would be justified. Doubtful he'd get out at the first parole hearing.

I bet he gets 10 years so no one is happy.

Not sure how I haven't heard about this until now. I was going to look up some articles about what happened, but I can probably guess the back story well enough.

Karmelo?

He got 30. Will probably serve at least 20.

35 years

Seeing the confrontations outside the courthouse makes me wonder... Who on their right mind does this, and what the hell do they expect to do while they are there? I can understand some family and friends, but most of these people look like agitators? Why does the press give them the time of day?

Ddp

Just another media case to distract the people when we all knew what the outcome would be.

Hope his parents enjoy the spa and maybe saved some $$$ for his commissary (no rape) fund.

Because it generates views, clicks, etc., which leads to money for the "news."

No doubt. How many of these "he isn't a harden criminal type" getting let off only to kill somebody else down the road. When it comes to taking another human life, there should be only two choices. Life in prison without the possibility of parole or execution. I would allow those serving life sentences to request execution as well.

Yeah, right or wrong, how do you reintegrate someone into society in their mid 30s when they spent half their life in prison for murdering someone?

They will likely have no meaningful employment opportunities or quality of life to speak of. So you can't be surprised when they inevitably keep doing criminal acts.

That fool isn't getting out in his mid 30's. He's 19 and facing 35 eligible for parole in 17.5. No one gets paroled for murder on first try. If he's a model prisoner he may get out at 25.

He will get out mid 40's. His thug ass life is over.

OK? That doesn't change much about the question I was pondering. In fact it probably makes it worse because now you have someone in their midlife with literally nothing to look forward to.

I think it's a disservice to society that he's getting out at all, but it's a disservice to him to let him out too. I would imagine it is a huge outlier to see anyone make anything out of their life in these circumstances.

I need to finish that series. I stopped in season 4ish a few years ago and never picked it back up. Now that it is back on Netflix I've been debating whether to start the whole thing over to catch up (which is probably best) or to try to remember where I left off.

I finally finished a few weeks ago. COVID disrupted my routine, and I never got to see the original airing of the last two seasons. I could not remember everything, I restarted from the beginning. That last season had a couple of episodes that shook me.

What flick are ya'll talking about?
