I am amazed that GH would ever allocate his guilt. Let him be sentenced, and let the civil suits commence!

I cannot imagine no jail, as this is a violent felony.  But I may be wrong

Wow. For those, like me, who can't the image without opening a new tab:

"08/28/20 [...] Scheduling Order - Guilty Plea 9/24/2020"

But the killer for him will be that he will forever be known as a convicted felon. Let him live with that.

Just saw reference today to a recent case where prosecutors and a defendant (a police officer who lied under oath, which led to a man being convicted and serving 10 years for a crime he didn't commit) agreed to a deal which ought to have had no jail time, but the judge rejected the deal, saying the sentence had to include imprisonment. Not sure what state it was.

I've had a notion that one reason Hopkins was able to get away with this for so long was that, intentionally or not, he made himself into such a controversial figure, someone who was the subject of so many (non-criminal) complaints in the drum corps community, that he was protected, as it were, by the appearance of having enemies who were just out to get him.

House arrest with jail time deferred until the pandemic is over, maybe?

Sexual assault is a violent felony.  These are the people who are kept in prison.  The ones they are putting on house arrest typically have not committed a violent crime & have behaved well in prison.
