Until he is formally sentenced, he can change his mind, correct?
If so, does anyone think he can get off with a lighter sentence? Any thoughts? Comments? Advice?
More to mention... Shawn's niece asked these questions, which make good points:
"With a criminal threat, doesn't there have to be intent to carry it out? Like acting on the intent? He was 3k miles away. He said 'if casey didn't confess' making the threats conditional upon confession. However, since Casey did confess that he 'accidentally' paralyzed Gregory then wouldn't that make the threats null and void since 'if' is a conditional word and for all intents and purposes the condition was met by the confession of Casey alleging he did it but it was an accident?"

You don't need to create a novel or write a biography, just ask your question.
Please don't post personal identities, hometowns, and other identifying information.
Please don't post alleged racial or ethnic identifiers, and don't post foul language or descriptors that disparage any person.
