UNDER THE FIRST STEP ACT THAT WAS SIGNED INTO LAW BY PRESIDENT TRUMP ON DECEMBER 21, 2018----"THE GOVERNMENT IS TO USE HOME CONFINEMENT, WHERE POSSIBLE, FOR ALL NON-VIOLENT CRIMES." THEREFORE, YOU ARE CORRECT THAT BY EARNING 15 DAYS PER MONTH IN GOOD TIME CREDITS---ONE WOULD ONLY SERVE 6 MONTHS OF ACTUAL PRISION TIME FOR EVERY 12 MONTHS SENTENCE. IN ESSENCE , MR. OAKES COULD BE RELEASED BY CHRISTMAS 2023. HE WAS OBVIOUSLY DETAINED THIS YEAR---AND HE WOULD ONLY SERVE 6 MONTH PER YEAR----SO YES. FURTHER, AFTER HIS TESTIMONY IS COMPLETED---AGAINST OTHERS----HIS ATTORNEY AND THE PROSECUTOR WILL FILE A DOCUMENT TO ACTING JUDGE AND REQUEST A REDUCTION IN SENTENCE DUE TO HIS COOPERATION. IF HE DID COOPERATE---AND HE GAVE THE AUTHORITIES WHAT THEY WANTED HIS SENTENCE COULD BE REDUCED DRAMATICALLY BY THE JUDGE. RECALL, THE JUDGE---NOT THE PROSECUTOR OR DEFENSE ATTORNEY AS ANY SAY SO IN TH MATTER. THEY EACH FILE BRIEFS FOR THE JUDGE TO READ---THE JUDGE HOLDS A HEARING AND THE JUDGE HAS FINAL AUTHORITY OVER ALL PLEASE DEALS AND WITNESS AID IN PROSECUTION.
FROM MY EXPERIENCE, MR. OAKES CAN STILL BE RECALLED FROM DANBURY TO TESTIFY IF THE GOVERNMENT NEEDS ADDITIONAL TESTIMONY. NO TWO OF THE CHARGED CAN RESIDE AT THE SAME CAMP OR INSTITUTION.
THARE ARE OTHERS THAT HAVE TESTIFIED AS AN INFORMANT IN THIS CASE AND AGAINST UN-NAMED PARTIES AT THIS TIME. TIME WILL TELL ADDITIONAL, IF ANY, FOLKS ARE NAMED OR PROSECUTED.
I PERSONALLY DO NOT THINK ANYONE NAMED IN THIS CASE WILL EVER RACE LEGALLY AGAIN. TIME WILL TELL.
