[QUOTE="donna723, post: 636525, member: 1883"] WM, if I could ask ... what changed that the amount of his bail was increased so much? Did his attorney recommend that he do it this way? If I'm understanding you right, he's planning to reject the plea bargain, plead guilty to the original charges, and basically "throw himself on the mercy of the court"? This could be VERY risky, especially if the prosecution has many witnesses to testify against him. As I said before, a plea bargain usually involves reducing the charges to ones that carry a lesser penalty. If he rejects the plea bargain, he will be tried on the original, more serious charges that carry a harsher penalty and could end up receiving a lot more than 5-10 years. I hope he gives this a great deal of serious thought before he decides to do this. And again, a sentence of 5 to 10 years in prison is NOT at all out of line for as many serious charges as he is facing. [/QUOTE]
