There's going to be a lot of pressure on the Department Of Corrections to not parole him at his first time up. There'll be pressure to let him out too, but Georgia's/Atlanta's criminal justice system will take a major, major hit in reputation if someone can get charged with the shyt he was charged with, and get paroled after just 3½ years...
Which, believe it or not, this shyt happens. I just think it's odd with how high profile this case is that they'll concede to time served with only 3 years and change. We'll see...
I remember Charlotte's DA office came under fire some years ago, for how many guys were getting off on violent crimes. Took a hit to their reputation. So this stuff does happen in the real world...
Shout out to Lucci though, I think he's bright enough that he won't mess up this opportunity back on the streets. And he legit makes good music, homie could be coming with an epic comeback...
Some of these Southern states and mid western states, State Level prosecutors offices still have that kind of backwater, backwoods traces to them, right?
You wouldn't see this in obviously Manhattan, but somewhere like San Diego, this would get handed off to the feds, who would probably crack someone like Lucci with 120 months, minimum, for all that bullshyt. Violent crimes, racketeering, gangs, the FBI Violent Crimes Task Force would take him down.
There seems to be some serious disconnect between federal and state in Atlanta. This and YSL should have been passed to the feds. They go quicker, harder, and more effectively for RICO. Kinda like the DA is trying to grab those cases, but can't bring them all the way home. it's true that even in federal RICO cases, the lowest defendants can get light sentences, like Peezy, but not when violence and murder and street terrorism are alleged. He also has Drew Finding, so that's not everyday defedants either.
it's interesting because sentencings like this to me, speak a little bit, to the idea that these are too politically motivated prosecutions. Counter though is someone like Lucci probably doesn't deserve a 30 year sentence either. But, these complicated, tiered, structured deals with all that probation, don't seem very effective for anyone but the court system.
