Welby's Sniper Case Predictions

If any of this has already been announced, I haven’t seen it because I haven’t done my news checking today yet. Last night I watched about 10 minutes of the announcement. Here’s what I predict will happen over the next few days/weeks/months:

The indictments will be federal, not state, and will seek the death penalty.

We will hear protests of this by MD, VA, and DC state attorneys.

The kid will (duh) be charged as an adult.

The kid will break and offer testimony against the adult in exchange for a life sentence without parole.

The adult will make a brief visit to the electric chair.

The kid will get nailed while in general populations at a federal pen.

Some idiot will “retaliate” against Muslims.

We will hear from one of the usuals about the “racial” motivations of the prosecution.

We will hear form some soft-hearted person that the poor kid was taken advantage of, manipulated, and shouldn’t be held responsible for his actions.

The media will pick some tidbit about the case that they think should have solved the case sooner and ride it until everyone is tired of hearing it.

There will be complaints by many of the law enforcement agencies against the others, and much blame slinging as a result.

Add/subtract/argur at your leisure.

You forgot the conspiracy theorists who will claim that these guys are patsys for the “real” killers who are (take your pick), Al Quaida, CIA, militia, Mossad agents, George Bush, Lee Harvey Oswald, or aliens.

Can we pick more than one, Finagle?

What’s Jamaica’s take on this? Do they have a death penalty?

Jamaica’s offical stance is: “Quit bogarting that doobie.”

I predict that every member of their families will state to the press and courts that they never thought something like this could ever happen and we are all in shock and still don’t beleive it. ** but when the ex-wives get on the witness stand they will state ** Oh yeah, I knew he had it in him…

The Feds and The STate will fight over who gets to trial them first for so long that the suspects will end up being either killed in prison by some criminal or just die of old age.
I predict that the next Mass-Media coverage of an event will either be *Election Fraud/ Voting Discrepancy * or maybe the
*Shark Attacks off of SC/NC/VA *will come back after being preempted by the incident of 9-11.
