Oh, i think he'll get some jail time. Understand it wasnt' even his motorcycle; in the other thread someone said they knew him and he was trouble. Besides this happened in 09 took TWO YEARS to deal with?
I hope ur right but I doubt u are. its very rare to see anyone do jail time for a traffic offense that didnt hurt or kill someone. evading the police may even be a felony there which makes it criminal but im sure its a class D felony and people just rarely do jail time for class D felonies these days.
the courts are overloaded and just very rarely put people in jail for running from the police even when in a stolen car. there just isnt the space in prison to house people for those type of crimes. you will see people go to jail for DUI but only after several convictions and even then its rare unless they caused serious property damage or bodily harm.
unless they have a prior criminal history judges sentence people by guidelines not media coverage and the MAXIMUM penalty for most misd. are a year. class D felonies usually 5 years max and thats usually with unique circumstances like death or injury.
if he did any time in jail before bailing out then that would already be time served on short sentence anyway. the speeding or reckless operation are misd. charges. people write bad checks all the time and they are all felonies but they rarely go to jail if its not a repeat offense.
I cant remember the last time someone did jail time around here for running from the police and not causing an accident or cause injury. this case is no different then thousands of others each year. its just his speed was higher then most bikes. if he was going 100 mph it would be a non story. its been sensationalized because of his speed not because of his actions.
a competent judge will fine him and give him probabion with some sort of community service and im sure a license suspension of a year or longer. or maybe he will shock me and send his ass to jail.
just about everyone here has riden their busa at speeds that would surely make headlines if caught while a trooper was running radar. so he did it while running from the police. big deal. hardly deserves jail time imo.
That SOB was going so fast, they thought a orange bike was red!
