6 months is all he got. He should have been hit with more. I get the whole “plea deal” but this guy isn’t just an idiot. He actively went and found the craft after the crash and tried to destroy the evidence. He should have been given 10 years to set an example. Not the maximum, but also a realistic number to make others think before trying this stunt. This is just the cost of business now.
Plea deals fucking suck. You’re either not guilty and you get punished anyways, or you’re guilty, and you get lest punished. All around, it just sucks.
I once had anti Marijuana prosecutor in CALIFORNIA, and they tried to force me into plea deal, for SMOKING AT MY HOUSE.
Heck of a lot easier for them than going to trial.
Law isn’t written for the people. It’s written for capital.
He could have started a horrific fire, too.
“Jacob committed this offence to generate social media and news coverage for himself and to obtain financial gain”, federal prosecutors in California said on Monday.
I wonder the amount of YouTube views & sponsorship revenue it would take to compensate for the price of an entire airplane and the cost to recover it and destroy it?
Maybe a little Insurance fraud to boot?
I wonder if that was part of his original plan. No way he’d get away with that after how publicized the incident became.
Publicly execute him. For views.
Then hide the evidence? And only report it a few days later?
Then get sued and got to jail
I’ll say it again: we’ve devolved to living for money and appearance.
Why they gotta be killin the vibe, it’s just a prank bro
In no way is the global news

Could he really have made more money off of the video than what the plane cost? Or was he committing insurance fraud too?
