I’m going to repeat the last paragraph of the Statement of Offense is pretty important - and his plea agreement is pretty standard even the “covert law enforcement” section but it’s not as important
While 'I' feel like the doors would amount to more than $2000, in regards to "How did they come up with $2000," I know in yours and my work we deal with what is and is not 'objective facts.' My strong assumption here would be that: 1) They can not assign an amount to him for anything they don't have on film of him damaging, so this is the estimate of what they OBJECTIVELY have on film and have him dead to rights, 2) If it is the door, per se, which I argue is likely far more than $2000 to replace, his 'share' of the damage could be estimated to be $2000. A "Piece of the property damage pie" so to speak. If he is visibly on film with two other conspirators severely damaging 'said' door, and the damage comes to $6000 for example, seems more reasonable, $2000, $2000, $2000. Make sense?
I have no idea 'why' him pleading made me think that all these 'tough' Oath Keepers and Proud boys, are going to become like every teen juvenile offender I have ever assessed for the court, when a 'group' committed a crime, and one threw a Molotov cocktail, but upon assessment, trying to narrow down 'what' actually happened, EVERY single one was "Just the look out." lol
