Default So, what happened to Mikey "Handsaw" V?

Eventually Mikey's going to run out of money to pay his lawyer. I
think after the second trial so long as he isn't acquitted he will
take the 120 day plea bargain.


If he's found guilty then he doesn't get to take the plea bargain. If
it's another mistrial or a hung jury then he's got to hope that the DA
tires of the case and doesn't keep trying for a conviction. I think the
potential for a hung jury is pretty high because the defense only needs
to get one bicycle-hater on the jury.

In any event he's really already lost because a) UC can still ban him
from their land no matter what the outcome of the trial (Strawberry
Canyon and the East-West fire road where the incident took place), b)
he's spent a lot of money on lawyer fees, and c) he's already spent some
time in jail, and that jail is a very unpleasant place.

He's certainly learned his lesson and will not repeat the (alleged)
behavior that got him into all this trouble. Let's be happy for that.
