  1. Exactly correct. I’ve read different opinions from people familiar with the guideline point system that suggest he’ll get less than 24 months. One opinion was that he would not get any prison time, but house arrest and supervised release. I’m not one of those that thinks he should do 20 years. If 2 years is the upper limit, he should do 2 years. That sounds like a reasonable and proportional punishment. What troubles me are those Trevor supporters who think obstruction of justice is no big deal. Their main argument is “nobody was hurt, so no real crime was committed”. The thing about obstruction is that it hurts everyone when the rule of law is circumvented. I don’t know why that is so hard for some people to understand.

  2.  @Ellexis  Nah. That’s messed up if you think rape should be part of anyone’s punishment.

  3. I think they’re used to his behavior. They’ve been enabling him for all his life.

  4. ⁠​⁠ @rusolinio121  You didn’t make a point. You misapplied a legal concept, and you not only didn’t get the legal term right, you misspelled it. Do yourself and all of us a favor: stop offering legal opinions from a place of deep ignorance. You’re embarrassing yourself.

  5. Everybody says they were fire extinguishers, but I think they were colostomy thermoses. Because he’s overflowing with shit. But why use a thermos? He wants to keep his shit close to body temperature. Doesn’t everyone? 🤭

  6.  @mumblecake251  I wasn’t sure where you were going with that, but I think you hit the nail on the head. A sentence of 18 to 24 months is proportional to the crime. Although they need to lock him up as soon as possible because he is a flight risk. 😉

  7. They’re very lucky they weren’t named as accessories or co-conspirators. Same deal with his friend.

  8. Five years would be within the range of what I would call proportional, although 18 to 24 months is acceptable to me. That said, I hope you’re not advocating for rape as part of punishment. That would be pretty messed up. Maybe you’re suggesting that Trevor Jacob is a closeted gay and would have a relationship while in prison. I don’t know if he’s really gay, but it wouldn’t surprise me.

  9. As I understand it, there will be two hearings. The first is the change of plea. The second will be the determination of the punishment. What I would like to know is if it’s possible to file an amicus brief for the penalty phase. I would argue that there is an extenuating circumstance for a stiffer penalty: to send a message to other morons that would risk people’s well being for YouTube views.

  10.  @Filthy_Larry  I hope you’re not suggesting that rape is a valid punishment. That would be messed up. People don’t come out of prison gay. They’re either gay or not gay when they enter. Maybe you’re suggesting that Trevor Jacob is secretly gay. It wouldn’t surprise me if he he was gay and desperately trying to hide it from himself and the world. He’s got the vibe of a guy who does stupid shit to avoid admitting something to himself. He tried to cover up a crime, what else is he covering up?

  11. Not just conceal. He destroyed the evidence, and he did so in a manner that showed premeditation and planning. There’s even an argument that he formed a conspiracy to obstruct an investigation, because he got two other people to participate in his cover up. Conspiracy to commit obstruction is even more serious than the charges he is facing.

  12.  @harveywallbanger3123  If he has $2 million and Trump gets elected, he can buy a pardon.

  13. ⁠ @TakingOff  It was an emergency revocation, so they haven’t reached a final decision on his FAA penalties. I’m not clear on the process for applying for a PPL, but if need be they can reject his application every year.

  14.  @0doubledseven589  US Attorneys often prosecute cases stemming from FBI investigations, but they also have their own investigators.

  15. It’s possible. The current case is obstruction and doesn’t touch on the underlying crimes. The state could go after him without violating double jeopardy rules. In addition, I don’t think the FAA has reached a final determination of his civil penalties in addition to any fines imposed by the court.

  16.  @CreamyPesto505  I need to type something in all caps for emphasis because something is not getting through to you. TREVOR DESTROYED EVIDENCE. That’s a big effin’ deal and a serious crime. This is even worse than lying to investigators, which is also serious. Furthermore, his destruction of evidence was premeditated. He had to charter a helicopter, enlist a friend to help. He then chopped up the wreckage and went to some effort to conceal that he was disposing of it. This isn’t a spur of the moment bad decision like “accidentally” losing a document. He’s lucky they aren’t charging him with conspiracy to obstruct, because he roped other people into his scheme. And lucky for them, they aren’t being charged as accessories or co-conspirators. When you obstruct an investigation, it hurts everyone. This isn’t a victimless crime.
