If someone can tell me this.... Where I am , if you actually turn down a deal like that,.and persist in going to trial, and you are found and convicted as guilty, you get no discount on your sentence., ie, if you are guilty, say so , and the court will take that into consideration at sentencing and it will have a positive affect on your overall time served before you can apply for ( but not neccesarily get ) parole.So the Jury charge sheet which was discussed on Tues also includes the charges of involuntary manslaughter and reckless manslaughter so the jury can also convict him of that incase one dissident juror decides it was not murder. I wonder how long of a sentence they carry considering Corey was just a child.
I know CG turned down the plea deal of 30 years - curious to know if that was specifically for the murder charge or for the homicide of a child in general. Whatever the case, I hope his actual sentence is longer than that.
If Chris is found guilty, having dismissed the 30 years thingy, does this mean that he serves the full time , because making the court go thru the entire process when he was in fact guilty? No discount, no years taken off the sentence, etc/?
