Merlino Trial thread

Cheers JtJ.

@Cheech: If it was some average Joe then sure, it’s a joke of a charge, but remember Francis Guerra (Columbo)? Guerra was convicted of one count of conspiracy to distribute oxycodone and Oxycontin and one count of actually distributing those drugs in 2010 and 2011. They were his own legally obtained pills and he got 14 years as the judge had him down for participating in a murder.

Dino Saracino as well.

The judge knows who Joey is, be amazed if it’s below the max prosecutors recommend.

Just my opinion.

Sentencing sept 13..judge removed the bail restrictons for the summer...

That’s strange. Maybe the feds want joey to talk to someone with a wire?

I dont see this judge banging him with 2 years....its not that strange. the charge is making a bet on the phone. 5 people I am in the office right now with have already done that today. if the judge was gonna be a hard ass dont see him removing bail restrictions

I have to agree , I am sure there’s already a deal worked out with the judge to avoid another trial , that they already know he banging Him with the 2
can u imagine going to prison for betting via a phone lol

Agreed. Vastly different charges. My point was simply Judgegs often don’t just sentence on the charge itself, but take into account extraneous circumstances. Like Joey was probably involved with a $100 million Medicare fraud. Which isn’t murder, sure, but it’s not just picking up a phone and laying a dime on the Phillies either.

Those guys were convicted at trial. Merlino is entering a plea agreement.

They can't take into account what they think he might have done. Just what he has been convicted of or what he plead to

A judge needs to be able to focus on just that and block the rest out. He plead to a petty gambling charge they cant just tack on an extra 5 years because of something he might of done lol

The judges in both of those caes were biased and retarded. “Innocent until proven guilty” my ass.

[SonnyBlackstein]

Asaro got twice the recommended sentence for the arson with the judge even citing she believed his guilt in Lufthansa and had reviewed that case and incorporated that into sentencing. That was only a few months ago. Judges don’t HAVE to stick to plea deals. And Judges, clearly have scope to sentence almost at whim. Do I think Joey will get 5 years? No. But could he get two? Sure. My bet is it’ll be higher than lower range. I’d be amazed with Joey’s record and status if he got anything else.

Again, just an opinion.

[Doobeez]

Dino getting 600 months was an egregious sentence handed down by an extremely biased judge.

Plea deal or not, only way Merlino could be maxed out is if the court is still pissed about his speaking to the juror. Jmo

[Cheech]

Maybe so. Can i call you and bet he gets less than a year?

[Doobeez]

LOL! O/U at 14.5 my friend.

But the maximum penalty for placing a bet electronically is two years in prison and a fine. The judge couldn't sentence him to more even if he wants to.
