Crap I have a lunch date. I wanted to hear the judge's tone while doing the sentencing.

Now the more mundane. Judge B merges various counts, goes over sentencing factors at issue

How it works: Judge has 2 decide if there is cause under law to go w/ max and stack. Law defines those factors

He also has 2 consider if there is cause to go easy or "mitigate" based on factors also defined under law
 
Leland Price arguing for maximum and consecutive sentences.

State cites factors of cruelty, especially heinous, dangerous offender, no hesitation when risk high

Prosecutor Price - jury found Coleman "provided substantial assistance" via facilitation verdict, not bystander

Price also says her admitted drug use negates claim she has no criminal history
 
IIRC, the probation department interviewed Nessa who admitted to half dozen MJ cigs and 14 grams of cocaine a day.
 
Here comes Lavit and the yelling.
 
It took him about six words before he started yelling.

Price - Vanessa knew the guys were headed out to commit some kind of crime, saw Davidson's violence b/4, stayed

Price - Vanessa no babe. "Behavior indicates she was very sophisticated," went after what she wanted
 
Lavit.....poor Nessa, Poor poor Nessa, This little girl....blah blah blah.
 
Is it just me or does he appear to have to read Channon and Chris's names from his notes everytime he states their names. What????? He doesn't know their names by now?
 
Interesting noises from the cameraman.
 
I think Gary has his ears plugged. Can't say I blame him.

Lavit - Channon, Chris suffered but not by any act of Vanessa

Lavit - Coleman "forced against her will to stay at that residence," notes feds put her in protective custody

"Judge it's gonna take some overt acts that's gotta be in that record" to support tough sentence, none there - Lavit

Lavit is starting to repeat himself on this no overt act thing

"We say she failed to comprehend the position she was placed in by these killers" - Lavit
