      5y is the potential max sentence. The trial itself starts in September, I think.

      In this sense, I feel that the writers of the article are attempting to rage-bait us. It definitely caught me.

      It’s fairly normal for prosecutors to charge more than will stick because we have guaranteed defense and due process, ostensibly.
