Is the difference here Ross went to trial?

Not that that’s acceptable.

A citizen shouldn’t be punished for defending himself to the fullest extent.

Its called 'Mad Time'. Judges apparently dont like to do their jobs so they will almost always increase punishment for anyone who dares defend themselves.

Yeah.

It’s their negotiation tactic.

Admit guilt and get a year, or go to trial, get railroaded, and get 10 years.

Your choice.

(That’s not a choice, it’s blackmail).

Not trying brag obviously but I know this all too well. In fact it was my lawyer who told me about the Mad Time concept

Seems unconstitutional

I guess as long as its within established sentencing guidelines, nothing really can be done about it.
