Cyclists' rights on trial in LA - Page 2

Well, I was trying to leave the emotion out of it, but OJ Simpson got a maximum of 33 years for armed burglary (and kidnapping), which seems pretty akin to assault with a deadly weapon. The fact that you're also gonna take the person's stuff seems like a minor difference once you've threatened their life with intent to harm. So...... yeah, 5 years max did seem kinda light for that offense (combined with 5 other felonies).

Guess I'd better tone down my aggressive shopping a smidge before little old ladies and people who have a hard time making up their mind band together to get some decent shopping laws passed.

The max he can get is 10 years, although the DA said given his clean record, he likely won't get that.

Guilty on all counts. Justice is served. So glad to hear that. This was such a severe case.
The judge must have thought he was a flight risk, (fleeing to some other country) and also that he was a threat to public safety, so he was immediately handcuffed and taken into jail.
Excellent. Remanded to custody forthwith. Bail revoked. Thanks to a good judge and a good district attorney.
