(16,168 posts)The judge decides the sentence. Mikey was going to be sentenced last year and the judge told him he was a traitor and he should consider going back and cooperating a little more before he got his just reward.
So now Mikey has yanked his guilty plea and cooperated less. I wouldn't be surprised if this judge ignores the prosecutors recommendation and throws the book at him.
We shall see.
