Prosecutors throw the book at people, sentences get reduced by dropping things, aclu better get on this and keep her from getting a stupid plea deal, and fight for free speech
Yeah, it’s hard to judge how people ought to respond to plea deals, but 15 years is long enough where she doesn’t have much incentive to take one unless it’s for time served or probation or something tiny like that.
Because her alternative is to go into court and play all the audio and then let the jury imagine what they would do if they were getting f***** over, and let them remember all the times they’ve said things that are definitely not threats, but someone else could be an a****** and erroneously construe them as such. And you’re always taking a gamble when you go to a jury trial, but that’s not a bad gamble to take.
