By now, everyone knows that Jerry’s been found guilty of the charges against him and having been denied bail, he’s in custody (protected, I would think) to await sentencing.
From what I read, the judge in the case doesn’t have the ability to do tweaking of the sentencing laws (I forget exactly why) so Jerry, who is 68, is potentially looking at being sentenced to 60 years in prison which, on the surface, is really a death sentence unless the possibility of parole is valid in this situation.
That he was going to be found guilty was almost a given – almost. Either the prosecution’s case was really that good – a slam dunk – or Jerry’s lawyers (and even Jerry) realized that there was no point in trying to defend someone when all that was happening was the testimony against him was getting rougher; easier for them to fold their tent and start working on an appeal.
Yea a life sentence works for me
Posted by marriagecoach1 | 23 June 2012, 16:35While watching a NASCAR race, the ESPN ticker had something about the verdict and it was saying that he faces a minimum of sixty years – and maybe this judge doesn’t have the authority to sentence him to anything less?
Posted by kdaddy23 | 23 June 2012, 17:31Don’t even think about trusting anything the media says. I got shot down in my whistleblower lawsuit in Federal Court even though Florida State College was guilty of a whole bunch of fraud against the Federal government the judge says that as a state institution they have immunity from prosecution. How about that shit?
Posted by marriagecoach1 | 23 June 2012, 18:05Well, John, it sucks but, yeah; I believe most state institutions have immunity from prosecution depending on what someone’s trying to prosecute them for; I’m thinking you can bring a civil suit against a state institution but not a criminal one.
Posted by kdaddy23 | 24 June 2012, 13:58I am so happy you were right. I think death is next for him. I see him dying very soon, probably right after it all sinks n.

Posted by Cinnamon | 24 June 2012, 10:49It was a civil suit with a big time lawyer but I think that the decision was political rather than a legal one
Posted by marriagecoach1 | 24 June 2012, 14:02It could have been, John; a major “crime” involving a state-funded institution – and a famous one at that – well, that’s not a good thing so some political wrangling might have been needed to make it go away…
Posted by kdaddy23 | 24 June 2012, 14:14Have you read that he’s on suicide watch now apparently? I really hope he doesn’t off himself; it’d be great if he actually paid for what he did.
Posted by Ariela | 24 June 2012, 19:15I read that, Ariela and killing himself would be taking the easy way out… and it doesn’t change shit because he still did what he did! He was “man” enough to be fucking these kids and sucking them off… but not man enough to face the consequences of his actions? Seems rather cowardly, huh?
Posted by kdaddy23 | 24 June 2012, 19:44Indeed. That’s why I hope he lives for a loooong time, and that they never put him in solitary or keep him away from the other inmates
Posted by Ariela | 25 June 2012, 11:52His lawyers, while working on his appeal, may request that he be put into solitary for his own protection; putting him in genpop wouldn’t be a good thing; he’s too recognizable and, well, it’s no secret that some inmates take a very dim view of what he was convicted for. But, if he’s in solitary, he gets to think about all of this 23 hours a day in his cell.
As long as he goes to prison (and not some country club).
