I'ved been following the Dharum Ravi trial and 2 lessons came to mind:
1. Every email, tweet, phone text and/or every social media posting is stored on a server somewhere. Deleting or altering them is a waste of time.
2. If the DA gives you a deal with no prison time and no deportation, take the deal.
So now the kid is looking at at least 5-10 years jail time, very possibly looking at deportation at the end. I'ved seen commenting people that the sentence was too harsh. Just keep in mind though, that he was offered a deal and the judge at the beginning of the trial warned him of the consequences. His defense said they will appeal, but there is no way they can have all the charges dropped. So the kid will probably be deported one way or the other..unless his family has powerful friends who can intercede on their behalf.
