Maybe, maybe not. That's what people said about another ultraliberal, David Gilbert, who was let go after slaughtering police officers after only 40 years on ice. Fredo pardoned him on his way out of public life.

And you are assuming that this fellow is going to be convicted. During his first court appearance he testified he was innocent.

Everyone claims not guilty at their first appearance

You can’t plea bargain otherwise
