7-10? I don't know Bobby. The fact is the gun was in his car, and that car was the same car spotted by an eyewitness leaving the murder scene. If they offer him 10 years, he should consider himself as lucky as someone who hit the mega millions jackpot.
Also, even if he was stupid enough not to take a plea deal and went to trial and by some act of God beat the case, double jeopardy does not apply to the feds picking up state acquittals. Meaning they could try him for the murder in federal court after his state acquittal, which if he was lucky enough to get, the feds would 100% do.
