edit to add- I know determining punishment would be difficult, which is why I just said guilty. I didn't specify guilty of what.

This is the problem with your black and white, all or nothing proposal. I am not trying to say that he will likely get off 100% scott free. I am
saying he will likely get some sort of slap on the wrist.
For example, he could be found guilty or plea guilty to a lesser charge.
If he is found guilty of all charges, there is an issue of sentencing. Is he going to get the punishment he deserves, or are they going to go light
on him? How are we going to precisely define a "light" punishment? Is 10 years too light? Is 5 years?
So if you can define with precision a test to determine exactly what a "light" punishment is, I will leave forever if he does not receive a
"light" punishment.
