“Let’s see if he testifies at any of his trials”
3/ 🤨 Pattis says that granting prosecutors' request to impose a 30-year sentence on Rehl would be like "burning down Waco."
More:
PATTIS says if Kelly sentences Rehl within the guidelines (36 years to life) "it will create a martyrdom syndrome that will resonate just as Waco did among conspiracy theorists in this country."
