So you wouldn't spend an additional 20 months in jail for one million dollars?
By the way, last I checked I had a degree in math and took numerous courses in logic, predicate calculus, abstract algebra, and many more. I would appreciate if you gave me something to discuss, rather than wrongly attacking my intelligence.
Matt,
The best way to see what potential time a person faces is to look at the charges on the indictment. Then based upon the charges the federal courts use a point system. The charge, amount you have, weapons involved, previous criminal history or lack thereof all carry point values. Then when the points are calculated you are given a zone that says you face a potential sentence of n years.
So lets say you have - 10 points. No criminal history is a reduction. Accepting responsibility and pleading guilty is a reduction. etc. The idea is to hopefully have enough reductions to get you down to as close to 0 as possible. Then the remaining points give you the sentencing zone you face. There is a motion filed upon sentencing called a motion for downward departure. That takes other areas into account such as cooperation (which does not mean informing), community service, military history etc. which can further reduce your potential time to serve.
To the best of my knowledge Art hasnt been indicted yet so any potential charges are not known yet. When and if that indictment happens only then will anyone know what the situation is. Until then its all speculation and Art deserves the benefit of the doubt as does anyone wrapped up in this unfortunate situation.
I just have to wonder how many crack, meth and coke dealers slipped through the cracks during all the efforts focused on steroids. Kinda makes you wonder doesnt it. I guess Watson and Serono got really pissed at people like me because as you can see all of us who used steroids are such horribly violent threats to society arent we....
