the evidence that he knew exactly what he was doing is strong. He’s a veteran who attempted a coup. It was treason. 18 years isn’t enough time.

Keeping these stats is awesome. Maybe they should also include the date of when they start their sentence. Not sure about this one-eyed domestic terrorist, but the convicted con artist Liz Holmes got convicted, then it took, what, months for her to start doing hard time?

This old story
says that Watkins and Harrellson will be sentenced tomorrow, and that Caldwell was to be sentenced yesterday. Megg’s sentencing was scheduled for today.

The “terrorism” enhancement worked. In the sentencing memo, the government asks for six points to be added to his offense level, raising his offense from 33 (135–168 months/11.25–14 years) to level 39 (262-327 months/21.9–27.25 years)
In the end, Rhodes received a 216 month sentence-- so it was terrorism-enhanced. On the other hand, the government could theoretically have requested up to a 12 point departure. Anything above 42 comes with a life sentence.
US v. Rhodes - gov sentencing memo
BTW
§2M1.1. Treason
(a) Base Offense Level:
- (1) 43, if the conduct is tantamount to waging war against the United States;
- (2) the offense level applicable to the most analogous offense, otherwise.

Every state in the US now has a no-fault divorce statute. Many states still also have fault divorce, but no-fault divorce is available everywhere. The last holdout was, interestingly, New York, which enacted its no-fault divorce statute just in 2010.

Even better:
The year was 1993, he was working as a firearms instructor when he dropped a loaded gun which went off and shot him in the eye.
That might be apocryphal. But I do believe it in my heart to be true.

That’s fair. I was referring more to , she might be in a state or situation where a judge is denying her divorce for reasons. I meant more the “True” no fault divorce states, where you can choose to not list a reason for the divorce.

New York had contractual divorce. If a separation agreement is entered into by both spouses it converted to an official divorce after a set time. No Fault divorce without actually calling it that.

And what I’m saying is every state in the US now has that option. There is nowhere where you can’t do that.

And what I’m saying is there are still plenty of states where judges will deny a divorce if it’s the wife filing it. I lived in one. I’ve watched women friends where I grew up get told by a judge that “they need to be subserviant to their husband and the divorce is denied.”
I don’t know why this divorce is pending , but I do know that the system is generally not fair to abused women.

“The moment you are released, whenever that may be, you will be ready to take up arms against your government,” The judge said, via ABC.
If 18 years isn’t long enough to achieve rehabilitation, shouldn’t the sentence have been longer, your Honor?
