Don't know where he's going yet, but it won't be his yacht. http://www.nytimes.com/2009/06/30/business/30madoff.html?_r=1&hp Probably his condo. Seriously, I know it's only because they're making an example of him and I knot there will be endless appeals but this does make me happy. Now let's catch some murderers and rapists, right cops?

Duff Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 his lawyer was seeking 12 years. im just wondering how many of the 150 years he will actually serve though, and where he will serve them. seeing as it's not a violent crime he should be able to get paroled rather easily.

benc Posted June 29, 2009 Author Share Posted June 29, 2009 He's not going to get paroled "rather easily." The judge gave him the maximum sentence because of the severity of the damage done to his victims and called his crimes "extraordinary evil".

The judge gave him the maximum sentence because of the severity of the damage done to his victims and called his crimes "extraordinary evil". Irrelevant what the judge says. There is no min-man for something of this gravity. He could be sentenced to 500 years and be out in 5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motorbike Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 i dont think this dude will see parole before the end of his days and if he does, i dont think he will live long after anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no min-man for something of this gravity. He could be sentenced to 500 years and be out in 5. You're right, it is irrelevant what the judge says when sentencing him. But you're wrong when you say there's no minimum time that he has to serve. He has to serve 80% of this sentence before being eligible for parole. So if he lived to 191 years, he could get out. And for the record, he couldn't be sentenced to 500 years. Max is 150. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You crazy? If that was the case, 80% of this country would be behind bars. In most cases, you need only serve 33% of your time before parole eligibility. And that's not a rule, either. It can be less. Much less. And I didn't say minimum -- I said minimum-mandatory. Big difference. I don't believe there is a minimum-mandatory for this crime.

Federal sentencing guidelines in this case require 80% of time served before being eligible for parole.

drabley Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 I'll have to take your word for it. Seems awfully illogical, though, that a killer can get out sooner than a con. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
