Reply to comment by tastycakebiker in Man arrested in Bucks County in connection with killing of Temple University police officer by MacKelvey

No, but a good lawyer and plea bargain will help make the sentence easier and probation a quicker reality.

Opie will be out back in the burbs in 10 yrs, released quietly and working some nice job daddy arranges for him.

If this is all on video, as has been claimed, there’s zero chance of a plea. They’ll nuke this kid from orbit.

I truly doubt that. It’s ashame he’ll be tried in Philly… if there is anyone to allow something like that it’s Philly’s DA office. Weintraub and the bucks county DA office would lock his ass up for life and throw away the key. They know how to try crime

Increased punishment does not act as a deterrent to criminal behavior. The only deterrent to criminal behavior is an increased perceived belief in being caught. That's why DUI checkpoints work, but automatic loss of a license doesn't.
