Court and Defendant Count One - conspiracy- fine and penalty

Count two - max 20 years obstruction

-sentencing guidelines - history, offense level, and circumstances of offense

Young - history Zero Points

Level = 2J.1.2 Based level is 14 plus 3 for substantial interference plus 2 for planning and 2 for deleting his Facebook account - 29 level -3 level brings him to 26 level

Estimated guidance of sentencing 63 to 78 months - fines >$25K

-part of plea - Government not ask for upward departure

Young will not ask for any further downward

5K1 is on the table for Young’s “substantial cooperation” - meaning Defendant Young has agreed to cooperate

I took a few minutes from my j-o-b to listen to the court proceedings via the link you provided Filey, it was really interesting,

have never done that before in such a high profile case (Scott Peterson and Mark Geragos circus years ago doesn't count right ?) To hear the ever so polite and perhaps even contrite Mr. Young respectfully respond to the judge's questions was an astounding about face for a former storm the capital kinda guy. Great job FBI and DOJ ! Keep rounding 'em up and herding them to justice ! Send more court hearing links as time allows please, always looking for job distractions. 😏

Thank you, Filey for the thorough breakdown. I literally watch for MacFarlane News drops on the twitter and then immediately refresh your substack feed. Appreciate you.

Always happy to help - I was providing quick real time updates as the hearing was ongoing - it is very interesting the hearing started off with a sealed discussion re Govt & Defendant - and that’s why I linked to the April 2021 Jon Schaffer plea agreement —I would suspect that Defendant Young might have concerns for his safety and that of his family - hence rereading the Schaffer plea agreement might be a worthwhile endeavor 🤗
