Federal Hate Crimes

Except I stated "One case will be prosecuted federally and one will be handled locally."

My point is one will face federal prosecution, the minimum of 10 years that comes with it and most importantly the requirement of doing 85% of the sentence. Conrad Alvin Barrett was ordered held without bond on 12/27.

We'll see about Baldwin when he is arraigned in STATE Court presumably tomorrow. One thing we do know is that if Baldwin was being prosecuted federally he'd be facing 70 years minimum (not counting the child endangerment charge) and would have no chance at bail. Even at the minimum he'd do 59.5 years and be over 94 when he gets out, effectively removing him from society permanently.
