>Convicted Israeli spy Jonathan Pollard in the back of an FBI car after his arrest outside the Israeli embassy in Washington D.C. November 21, 1985. Pollard was convicted of passing classified documents from his job as an intelligence analyist to Tel Aviv and sentenced to life in prison. He received parole in 2015 and moved to Israel afterward.
>>18290788Coulda been retired down in Palm Beach now and hitting the golf course on his comfy defense analyst pension, instead he had to Darwin Award himself and now he gets to spend his old age in a shitty Tel Aviv commieblock apartment on 300 USD a month.
>>18290788they removed parole from Federal life sentences shortly after he was convicted. i think that was done specifically because of him.
>>18290930You're a bit mistaken. There is no federal parole at all, it's not just life sentences. That was a result of the sentencing reform act of 1984, which did not go into effect until 1987. It also wasn't passed as the result of some particular scandal, but long running dissatisfaction, particularly from prosecutors and judges that the existing regime where judges would sentence someone to "5-20 years to be determined by the parole board" undermined the courts who should really be the ones deciding this.
>>18290930It used to be auto parole on life sentences in 28 years for good behavior, which was how Pollard came to be released in 2015. were he convicted under modern sentencing guidelines it would really be life unless he sucked the president's dick to get a pardon.For non life sentences you have to serve 80% of it on Federal convictions, thus if 20 years you must serve at least 16, and many states also do this (Texas is still only 50%).
>>18290950it's funny 'cos /pol/ thinks it was some Jew conspiracy that he got out instead of just an effect of the sentencing guidelines that existed when he was convicted
>>18290950In some states (like MO) percentage is based on the category of the crime and how many prison sentences you have served. (Non violent first time prison sentences must serve 10%, second its 35%, etc). A lot of states prisons are totally overcrowded. t. Did 10% on a 5 year sentence in MO over 15 years ago. Even then I remember having 75+ of us sleeping in the fucking floor of the housing unit wing at the receptions and diagnostics facility you go to for caregorization because it was so overcrowded.

>>18291033>a jewish spy rationalizes his act betrayal>this means all jews are spiesspies are not normal people
>>18291042>kvetching>seething at some unrelated raceNotice how I said absolutely nothing in my previous comment, I simply presented the evidence.Here's your daily lesson in Roman jurisprudence:>Excusatio non petita, accusatio manifesta
>>18291048NTA but usually evidence is presented with context
>>18291051The context is the OP write-up and earlier comments
The worst Zionists are guys like him who make their Jewishness their entire identity.
>>18290950Despite Texas's capital punishment fetish they're not one of the harsher states for non-homicide offenses.
>>18290950>For non life sentences you have to serve 80% of it on Federal convictionsThis was changed in 1980, before that it was a lot less.
