2 years for the crime, 18 for pissising off your friend. Does your friend think he is a God of some sort?

My friend has no issues trying the case — he’s good, and he gets paid for it.

It’s typically the judge with an overflowing docket and the understaffed DA that prefer the plea.

From everything I have personally witnessed regarding this matter, none of it is a god complex on any side (some DAs can be d-bags, but most of them aren’t) — it’s more of an issue of logistics.
