    He is looking at a very long sentence

    The racketeering charge alone carries up to 20 years and he was convicted on eight other counts

      I was going to ask...and was hoping you'd say that.

      It would take a bold judge to sit through that trial and then give him 8-10.

        Given that Kelly filmed himself committing statutory rape and the Illinois DA still couldn't get a conviction, I can understand why folk are chuffed with today's outcome.

          Oh, I completely get it. It just reflects the total mess here.

            It was pointed out that he's probably the only famous American Kelly that no town in Ireland has tried to claim as " one of our own" .

              A good 20+ minute podcast on the Murdaugh saga with which I started this thread

                Murdaugh's been arrested again. This time in relation to the housekeeper matter.

                  Meanwhile the person who Murdaugh claims he paid to shoot him was on TV this morning with his attorney. His attorney looked like he'd just walked in from a very, very heavy night on the town. The guy said "If I'd actually shot Murdaugh, he'd be dead," claiming that he was set up.

                      Updates: Durst has covid and is on a ventilator, so he should be gone by the end of the month.

                      And Murdaugh apparently coordinated with the housekeeper's family to sue his estate for her negligent death (the dogs tripped her), and then he skimmed $3 million off the settlement.

                        They should have auctioned off the right to install the ventilator

                        Could have covered the hospital's operating costs for a while

                          Murdaugh was arrested at an out of state rehab facility, brought back to South Carolina, and denied bail at his initial hearing - a decision more punitive than the prosecution's recommendation, which was for a quarter of a million in cash bail and an ankle bracelet.

                            Seems fair. A lot of dying and stealing tend to happen in his close orbit.

                              Multi-generational control of the criminal justice system often ends badly for the scion in place when the music stops

                                      This case using genetic genealogy came to my attention because the mother of the missing guy is one of my Ancestry DNA matches: Houston couple's remains identified but their baby still missing (usatoday.com)

                                          Guns and boats and booze. It’s a story of every day life here in South Carolina. The only surprising thing is that the bloke was rescued before being shot.

                                            The realisation that a significant percentage of the people drunk out of their minds on pontoon boats are also packing heat is rather terrifying (if unsurprising).

                                                Mrs dglh has vetoed my proposal to vacation in the Ozarks multiple times on similar grounds.
