Comment Comment by gruez US, as per federal sentencing guidelines[1]:* baseline offense level of 9 [2]* -2 adjustment for acceptance of responsibility[3]* That gets you an offense level of 7, which puts him in the 0-6 months band[4], making him eligible for probation[5].IANAL but all of this is for offenses that make it to trial. If there's plea bargaining involved the sentences are probably even lighter.[1] https://www.ussc.gov/guidelines/2021-guidelines-manual-annot...[2] https://www.ussc.gov/guidelines/2021-guidelines-manual/annot...[3] https://www.ussc.gov/guidelines/2021-guidelines-manual/annot...[4] https://www.ussc.gov/sites/default/files/pdf/guidelines-manu...[5] https://www.ussc.gov/guidelines/2021-guidelines-manual/annot... parent gruez 3 years ago
