(856 posts)If the next judge can increase the sentence, I'm all for the appeal. There's a lot more opportunity for increasing the sentence than decreasing it.

Surgeons also need to be somewhat intelligent or at least disciplined, so poor widdle Brock was never going to make it.

(20,176 posts)If they don't overturn his conviction and declare a mistrial, he would be retried and if convicted then he would be re-sentenced, almost-certainly more severely than he was the first time.

The concept that HE could be a rapist, is beyond his sphere of understanding.

(5,762 posts)You know, a little harmless teenage fun (wink, wink). Things got a little out of hand, the hysterical girl overreacts. Happens all the time. No reason to put a crimp in a promising athletic career. Just a bump in the road for the lad. I'm sure he'll be more careful next time.

(20,176 posts)He stands a very good chance of only getting the first trial declared a mistrial and getting himself a new trial...and the chance for a new sentence. I guess the arrogant fuck doesn't comprehend that he got a slap on the wrist for a heinous crime.
I wish him exactly enough luck to fuck his life up further by getting convicted a second time and sent to Mule Creek for the full stretch.
