Can’t stop, won’t stop! Ain’t no party like a Diddy prison shower party!
Take that, take that
I get that it's good to be thorough but if dude was found guilty on 4 charges adding up to a minimum of 50 years, (2 counts 15 years, 2 counts 10 years) and the guy is 55 years old. Can't the judge just say they can't be served concurrently, and call it at some point. That puts him in prison to 105 years old, when the expected life span of an African American male is 72.
No, they can't do that and rightfully so. The man was accused of a crime, and therefore he was a right to a trial by a jury of his peers for each and every charge.
Not only just for the purposes of future appeals, but simply because the US Constitution grants every person in the US that right.
Or at least it did
Now is the point in history where we have to actualize these wonderful ideas. The US Constitution is a flimsy piece of paper. The only strength it ever had is that which we lend to it, collectively.
It’s all on us.
Isn't that the whole purpose? Jury deliberates. They all agreed on 4. Couldn't agree on 1. If you require the jury to be there day after day and you essentially hold them prisoner to do so because it is mandatory... How many days do you hold them until it is effecting their deliberation. If I make you miss your job for week, you may just agree to something to get out the door eventually. A hung jury can't occur if the judge just says "keep deliberating" so there must be some cut off
There are rules for when sentencing occurs concurrently or consecutively. Additionally the prosecution should want the most charges possible, in the event that an appeal overturns (or orders a new trial on) only a few of the indicted charges.
