MAVERICK's OUTCOME

[MikeS]

Unexpectedly the sentencing trial was today, Mav found out Sunday nite that he had the date wrong.

I just spoke to Mav...as mentioned the guidlines scheduled him to 36-48mo. The judge actually sentenced him to 20mo. He is somewhat disappointed...but also realizes it could have been much worse.

Let me break this down. Fed time is 85%...he will do 17mo with good behavior in a minimum security Fed camp, yet to be determined. He has 7days to select a location. Mav can apply for halfway detention of 6mo at the end of the sentence...which can also be home detention. So now we are looking at 11mo. The typical 1yr+1day would net 10mo after good behavior. So really...he is hoping to do the same as if he were to just get a 1yr sentence. Rick Collins explained all this to Mav. He has been given 2mo to get his affairs in order, sentence starts at end of Sept 09.

Thanks to everyone who pulled for Maverick. Trust me he appreciates it. Expect to hear from him soon after the dust settles and he can enjoy a little family time. He is a bit down currently, as could be expected.

It really could've been much worse. I'm glad they're giving him time to get his affairs together. I hope your time goes as quickly as possible Mav!

I've got 3 buddies who all did fed time. One got 24months and was out in 10, this was in texas. One in Cali got 12months and was out in 3 and the other was in NY and got 36months and was out in 24. I think the %85 isnt always permanent. I think other factors come into play. Either way 20months is ridiculous for Mav. Thats just crazy. I've seen attempted murder charges get less than that.

 

[JJ-INSANE1]

God all fucking mighty. 20 fucking months for NOTHING other then wanting to help people better themselves.
Im about to blow my fucking top... Jesus Christ man. What in the FUCK is wrong with this government and juridical system?

I have seen rapist, murderers, and fucking child molesters get less then that... AFTER a long criminal history!

DAMN DAMN DAMN

Its all about money with our greedy gov. Rapists, child molesters,etc.. arent making $ when they commit their crimes. Tax evasion, drug dealing,money laundering,etc.. always get hit the hardest cuz Uncle Sam didnt get his cut.

 

[MrCyp]

This also says a lot about who was a rat and who wasnt. Mav was big but not nearly as big as some of the guys who went down and got no time. Its nice to see some sources are still loyal and honorable.

Could have been a lot worse, hopefully it'll fly by.

Maverick

I realize you don't know me as well as some others but I'll be pulling for you as long as it takes...Your outcome is dissapointing but when the time comes, don't think I won't be there like a true bro...I'll send you what ever books etc. you could want man...if your family needs help, just say the word and pm me or have MikeS do it. I can't say I feel your pain or know how it feels cause I haven't been there, but I can help things go a bit smoother, using everything in my power.

God Bless you Mav.!!!!

 

[Bio]

I don't know Mav, but I'm very sorry to hear about this whole situation. That being said, at least he got a lot less than the sentencing guidelines. Hopefully his time will be even shorter with good behavior.

 

[LATS]

i know he got a decent deal.. but this still infuriates me.. what the hell is wrong with our gov..? 55 million spent to see if someone cheated in baseball... the stats show that roid users are college educated and in their 30-50's and middle to upper middle class.. non violent professionals... yet we chase them down.. do these agents and law makers ever stop to see the stupidity of it all???

 

[rAJJIN]

Honestly I was afraid it was going to be worse. 11-17 months is still a long time away from your family and Job But mav will survive this and be back before you know it. Im glad its not 5 yrs.

If our gov't thought they could turn a profit, they'd makem legal.

Hey JJ I know what you mean bro.. I saw a child molester get nothing but 6 months house arrest... Are you f'ing kidding me... The sentencing guidelines gave the judge the authority to put his ass away for years, but NO this ass clown got 6 fucking months house arrest.. And what pissed me off even worse is the fact he left the courtroom with a fucking smirk on his face..

 

[The Booger]

You know they could easily turn a profit, or at least make the shit taxable. Hell, throw a 20% tax on it. People would still buy a shit load if it was legal.

 

[cpesloco]

sorry out of the loop but what was all this from? obviously he was busted but what happened.

I totally agree with this bro!!

Mav, I know it sucks but it could have been much worse brother, and you know that!! Stand tall bro, karma's a bitch...It'll come back to bite your "boy" in the ass someday!! Take it slow and steady bro, you'll bounce back!!

 

[Pain]

I had hoped for better ...

It could have been much much worse. The judge could have stuck it it Maverick for not flipping, but he stayed on the lower end of the guidelines. Kudo's to Mav and his Atty. for getting that much.

Any time your freedom is taken from you is just horrible. Even if it is some minimum security day-camp of a facility, it is a gawd-awful shitty existence. Weather Maverick likes it or not, this is a major crossroad in his existence. He can either use this as a catalyst for growth ... as an opportunity to rise above this entire situation - all of its unfairness, bullshit politics, and everything else unsavory about it - and to create a life better than before ... or this will be the beginning of the end. He can choose to be another ex-con drug trafficker, who either fucks up again and goes back, or simply never recovers and fades away. There is nothing any of us, or anyone else in his life, can do to effect that outcome. The choice is purely his.

God, I wish yo the very best of luck bro.

 

[Caladin]

I have always wonderd how somthing like this would effect someone life in the sense that...

1. I would lose my home? How would I pay for it?
2. I would lose my job? in this economy how does one get that back after jail time?

 

[pumpt73]

True it could have been worse, but it's still months of his life that he won't ever get back. Godspeed to Mav and hopefully that time will fly by. Sucks. Go after those evil steroid users who use their drugs in a clean, sterile bathroom to be stronger and look better. I swear, I think our Gov wants us to be fat and out of shape.

There is a chance you would loose your home. Most of the time unless your some international kingpin they just use your home as leverage.
How would you pay for it? Who knows... but they dont care. There banking on you loosing it so it gets foreclosed anyway.

Yes unless you have a very understanding boss or you own your company you would probably loose your job.. and after jail and the felony tacked on from that point on, all you can do is hope for a cash paying job or something in construction, ect... most places wont hire felons.

The government knows all this and thats why they enjoy fucking with us so bad. We are taking nothing more then substances that our body already produces yet we get thrown in the same category of a fucking meth or crack dealer. This is ... so very very wrong and ver very sad.
