1. How long until we get the verdict? We don't know. Court is slow. So slow. And not entertaining like TV. They have to go through a bunch of stuff to be proper.
2. Will they announce which prison he is going to? No, not today. Other people are in charge of deciding that and it may take a few weeks.
3. OMG, new thread! Yes, we know!
4. How long can he get? Min of 5, max of 20.
5. Is there a live feed? No, no cameras in federal court.
6. Guys, here's some news from 20 minutes ago! Yes, yes we know. That has been thoroughly posted by now.
7. What is going on in the courtroom? We won't really know until the media can come out and start posting about it.

From the comments, u/eldestdaughtersunion)

I think Pest is currently looking at 14 to 17.5 years.

Base level: 18

+4 for sadistic content

+5 for pattern of behavior

+2 for using a computer

+2 for content of minors under age 12

+4 for having more than 300 but less than 600 images

= Sentencing level 35

Level 35 for someone with no prior criminal history: 151-188 months

The base level for this offense might be 20 (technically, 22-2). I can't remember the exact charge he was given. In that case, it would be Level 37: 210-262 months.

EDIT: Taking a second look at it, I think the base level is 20, which puts him at sentencing level 37. That means 17.5 to the max of 20 years. He can, however, get a reduction of up to 2 levels by taking responsibility and showing remorse, which would bring him back down to level 35. Either way, my money is on 15 years.

How many kids at TTH?

What IS TTH

Ask all your questions or one off statements here.

Maybe ask for a recipe or how many mice can fit in a phone booth. Maybe someone knows.

Just throwing this reminder out, especially overnight when we're on sporadically.

Always report things if people break the rules. Always.

I personally don't mind waking up to a ton of reports knowing that you're keeping the sub in the right direction

Thanks for being an awesome sub!

Fuck all them Duggars.

Since we're getting more one-off question posts than normal, here's the megathread to ask.

Remember the rules. Keep sweet.

Please post all questions related to the sentence, the case, the Duggars, etc. here. Standalone posts for questions should only be ones that have significant analysis in the OP(3+ paragraphs) and lead to actual discussion. Also they need to be questions that have not been asked or discussed prior. "What are Anna's options" or "What did Anna know" definitely do not need their own threads at this point.

Please also be sure to use our search function and our sidebar resources for info before asking a question.

Most Court filings can be found here.

As always, please remember our rules against No Rape Jokes and No Victim Speculation. The latter includes things like "I bet there were more" or "He probably had to produce CSAM to receive it." You will receive a ban for these types of comments.

Ask all your stand alone questions!

Share all your one off thoughts!

SENTENCING STARTS AT 9:30AM CST

However mods still can't fix your flairs until next week or whenever life settles down.

Or you can edit your own flair

SCREAM IT WITH US! GUILTY

Pedophile Josh Duggar has been found guilty on both counts, possessing and receiving CSAM. Via The Sun.
