[QUOTE="Aristalochia, post: 318381, member: 10358"] Wow. Are they serious about those numbers? Is this just he famous technique of piling up worse of charges to force a guilty plea, for lesser charges(from fear of a wrongfull conviction for the absurd charges)? I read that the USA justice system relies on this to get around the constitutional rights of its citizens to a fair trial, and that this is used to 97% federal convictions and 93% of state convictions. I dont know, but it would explain the 25 years 250 grand..Either way, Its probably not a good idea to tempt the gov to come after you, especially after they let you off, with a warning... [/QUOTE]
