Lane Jensen gets 18-36 month deferred sentence
As expected Lane Jensen was sentenced to a term of 18-36 months 'deferred' which means that if he stays out of trouble the case will be dropped. 18 months if he is a very good boy, 36 months if he is not. (what ever that means)
Not exactly sure what you mean by 18-36 month deferred sentence. What it sounds like is he is on probation. Sounds like it will go on his record as an arrest but not a conviction. But when filing out any future employment applications and they come to the criminal background part. They usually have the question, Have you ever received Deferred Adjudication? This is where he would put yes. Maybe later he can have the recored sealed from the general public.
ReplyDeleteAlthough I can understand why Lane didn't want to fight this injustice to the very end, I was really looking forward to him doing so. I'm sure Roberta and all of TriMet management are feeling smug and patting themselves on the back over this. They did not have to spend money defending themselves and they got rid of a thorn in their sides with little effort. Dispicable.
ReplyDeleteI'd urge Lane to make sure his record is expunged of this whole thing at some point and if his lawyer is any good, he will help him do that as there should be no problem for him going forward in what he has to disclose in the way of his arrest record, etc. I've seen this done many times for first-time offenders so hopefully, there should be no problems for him in the future.
