Van Buren says that the Hispanic men from the sexual assault/food stand robbery incident in the park plead out to either robbery or assault (though the ones that grabbed the girl's breasts and tore her clothes off were also guilty of forcible touching) and the most they would get is 18 months in prison. However someone who pleads guilty to robbery would have to do more than 18 months, even for the lowest degree of robbery. The lowest degree of robbery is third degree robbery, a violent class D felony that carries a mandatory minimum sentence of 24 months in prison. Plus assault in the third degree, which is what the men who assaulted the girl would be charged with, is only a class A misdemeanor meaning they couldn't get 18 months in prison, the maximum sentence for a class A misdemeanor is 12 months in jail. Though a couple of the guys who assaulted the girls were also part of the food vendor robbery, meaning they faced a combined sentence of three years in prison for both robbery three and assault three.
ADA Carmichael says that if the defendant pleads to criminally negligent homicide the most time he'll spend in prison is one year. Which is incorrect, as a violent class E felony criminally negligent homicide can carry a maximum sentence of four years in prison, one year is just the minimum prison sentence.
