Haidl 3 Get 6 Years

At 4:07, Briseno finally put an end to the long-running saga of the Haidl 3, sentencing Greg Haidl, Kyle Nachreiner and Keith Spann to six years in state prison.

The defendants seemed to have expected nothing less; their supporters wept.

The judge's decision put a cap on an afternoon that saw the defense switch tactics. In the morning, we heard the defendants and their supporters protest their remorse. That changed after lunch, when Haidl's attorney, Al Stokke, went after Jane Doe, denying that her emotional stress could be positively linked to the attack. He criticized a prosecutor's request that the three not be segregated from the general prison population as "without question, the most outrageous position I have ever seen." It was tantamount, he said, to "calling for their murder."

When it was his turn, Brisneo said he didn't buy the defendants' claims of remorse; they were, he suggested, too little, too late. Nor could he ignore the "egregiousness" of the attack, noting that the defendants laughed and joked while their victim lay unclothed and unconscious on the pool table. He ripped into the defense team's suggestion that Doe had a history of using foreign objects as sexual toys, saying there was no evidence to support such a claim

The defendants took advantage of their victim's trust, Brisneo said.

Based on numerous doctors interviews with the Haidl 3, Brisneo had concluded that only "a lengthy period of time" in prison could help them "abate" their alcohol and substance abuse.

"Victim never consented to being degraded."

The DA is now holding a press conference on the sentencing. More to come. Meanwhile, see the previous post on this subject here.

It's not 14 years, but it's not probation either. Wish it were federal PMIA prison.

Best wishes to Jane for a new beginning.

Now they need to register them as sex offenders. It happens to those less privileged as well.

6 years doesn't sound like enough...but maybe just enough for them to become someone's bitch

Thank God for justice. Maybe now the young men will know how it feels to be degraded.

Eh.

Spann should have got less. Four willing participants.

This stuff happens all the time, just make sure you dont video tape it.

Also, make up your mind, if you want to charge minors as adults pass a fucking law. No more of this selective shit.

Jah Bless all four.

Just a bit more! Now it's time to go after Haidl Sr., Cavallo, and Carona. I hope Jane Doe gets well deserved $ after what she was forced to endure by all these low life people.

I hope there is a nice place in hell for the "defense" attorneys for what they did to that poor girl as well.

I would fully support the death penalty if it applied to the A$$holes like "the haidl 3".

It is about time, if they have a bad time in prison, too fucking bad for them.

They aren't sorry and they never were. You can bet that the appeal and PR process will start up tomorrow morning as if the 3 rapists had never admitted anything wrong happened at all that night.
