Let’s chip in to buy every damn kid in that district a copy of every damn banned book. If they ban more, I’ll donate more. These are awful, selfish people.

Semantics, but PA does allow life without parole for juvenile murderers, it just can’t be a mandatory sentence. (This is federal constitutional law ever since the 2012 SCOTUS decision Miller v Alabama).

If 15 to 18 years old at time of murder - life without parole OR 35 years to life (i.e. chance of parole after 35 years)

If 14 years old or younger at time of murder - life without parole OR 25 years to life.

PA had to change these statutes after Miller to add the 25+/35+ options to replace mandatory LWOP.

(This is all in 18 Pa Section 1102.1(a).)

The statute also has a list of factors which the judge would need to consider on the record prior to imposing a LWOP sentence on a juvenile.

PA Criminal defense lawyer here. u/muffpatty is correct and u/mehndeke is slightly off.

The max for an F1 is 20 years (or 10-20 under the min/max rule). 18 Pa. Section 1103

The max for murder 3 is 40 years (or 20-40 under the min-max rule). 18 Pa. Section 1102(d)

If you’re convicted of an F1 you could only be sentenced to more than 20 years if its stacked consecutively with something else. But murder is not an F1, it’s in a category of its own in PA.

ETA: there are also exceptions under the mandatory minimum sentences for 2nd and 3rd strikes for repeat violent convictions. Strike 3 has a 25 year mandatory minimum

It should either be a non-bailable offense or it shouldn’t be.

You should not be stuck in jail simply because you have less money for bail.

Bail shouldn’t be set in the first place for murder, which would require a change in law for third degree murder charges.

The last thing I expect a car with hazards to do is reverse

Fetterman bought houses in Pennsylvania through nonprofit work for other people and the community. Oz bought houses in other states for himself.

Why doesn’t Oz release his PA state income tax filings and property tax filings for the last decade?

I thought COs hated everyone?

I was just pointing out that he's not going to the state system, although I agree he certainly deserves it. Sorry, missed the sarcasm. Have certainly been to Holmesburg! (The prison and the Ashburner..).

He didn't possess it as evidence, he possessed it as a criminal and it was later determined to be used in the Roxborough shootings, after it came into the possession of the undercover FBI agent.

He's going to Federal prison.

There's no indication that the Sheriff's Deputy acquired them "as evidence." If they had the gun, the evidence would be in possession of either the Philadelphia Police, FBI, US Attorney, or Philadelphia District Attorney. It appears the Deputy acquired the gun through other (criminal) means, and then they were able to trace it back to the shooting after the fact, once it was in the undercover agent's possession.

They didn’t look stupid in 2016. They gave Trump a better chance than almost any outlet. It was 29% by the end. Things with 29% probability happen all the time.

I’ve seen or heard 50 Oz ads for every 1 Fetterman. I hope they know what they’re doing.
