Tipping it on sky news that he will be put under house arrest as all the jails are full in California.

Possibly only 4 years - If I knew that was all I may have done it myself.

And Involuntary Manslaughter? If it wasn't involuntary it'd be murder, surely?

4 years has been my understanding from day 1 of the trial but I thought someone had reported there could be further charges brought now that a guilty verdict had been reached

Possibly my crap hearing last night

Gerald · 11-08-11, 07:23 AM

There will be an appeal and a bail,

Jimbuna · 11-08-11, 07:29 AM

I would have thought so but that will ultimately depend on the sentence imposed I suspect.

He still are unlikely to get inside for too long, there are after all ambiguities in the existing evidence.

My give-a-hoot meter still reads dead zero.

News this morning was that he was not released on bail pending sentencing as the judge denied that request. He was taken directly to jail from the courtroom (did not pass Go, did not collect $200). They are also saying he was put on 24 hour "medical watch" overnight, which sounds like a nice way of saying "suicide watch" but I'm not sure.

Not quite. Voluntary Manslaughter happens when the killer meant to do harm, but not to kill, or when he thought killing was justified, but he thought wrongly.

Fair enough.

Darn you and your judicial system, with your varying degrees of things!

Therefore, your honor, the victim brought this upon himself, and my client can hardly be held responsible for a simply misunderstanding due to language."

Not all Europe! (Calm down STEED!) Britain invented Yards, Feet, and Inches, along with many other measurements.

If you go back to Tudor times, that story would have been 'within three barlycorns...'
