Throw the book at him

What exactly are the charges and penalties he's facing?

I remember opening up the Daily Egyptian at SIU and saw that some student hit him in the face with a pie.

What exactly are the charges and penalties he's facing?

 

 

Among other things, racketeering with conspiracy and fraud.

 

This link has a lot of detail since the start of the trial.

Throw the book at him

Word!

I remember opening up the Daily Egyptian at SIU and saw that some student hit him in the face with a pie.

 

I knew that girl, that was some funny stuff. She almost got expelled for that.

Didn't she ask him a question during the speech or whatever and Ryan refered to her as "young man"?

Yeah, but she had a completely shaved head, so that was understandable, at least I thought it was. She had that s*** planned for weeks, it was great. She called his name and he turned right into the flying pie.

well? It's 11:15.

Well? Its 11:30......

Ryan just showed up at the court house (they are trying to get everyone assembled).

The head prosecutor, Patrick Collins isn't even there yet...:rolly

They're just trying to generate suspense.

I believe that they had a verdict last week, but delayed it so that Ryan could be with his family on Easter....

Just waiting for jury to read verdict.

Guilty on all counts

 

both Warner and Ryan

Just waiting for jury to read verdict.

woah

Awesome. Its shallow at best but hopefully justice is done for the family who died so that Ryan could get elected.

they're saying 10-12 years MINIMUM. Yikes

I think it's safe to say no matter how long his sentence is -- he will unfortunately die in prison.
