Ben apparently has some action that would allow him to have the RICO part of his case overturned which would then give him new sentencing which he at this point would have done time served on as well as the rest of the convictions he has which he has already served at this point!!!!
He'll die where he is. What motivation would the State of Florida and the US DoJ have to release a major dope smuggler and confessed capital murderer?
It's not like we're talking about the freeing of Mandela from prison. But by present standards he's probabaly qualified for a Nobel.

on legal terms DD is right.
He took a no contest so he didn´t challenge the accusations.
And the motive was to get to a better facility.
He shoulda done it in Sweden...
I know a few guys who served time during summers by a lake in a log cabin village that was fenced but the gate was open..
Guys were sentenced to the biggest tax fraud in Sweden, hiring illegal manpower for constructions, money laundering etc etc..
Well at least the Globen was built in time...and the sentences considered a joke overhere ..

All he has to do it write a book and he'll have all the $$ he needs to get out.
Look for a copy of Thunderboat Row lately?

No contest means that you don't dispute the charges and accept the consequences. And you surrender any and all right to appeal. You're splitting hairs on the "didn't confess" aspect. And the politicians who will make the decisions on his release know there's really no difference.

Chris.... Though it happens infrequently, and may be the result generalization , you are wrong on this one. While the right to appeal on a nolo contendre varies from state to state on restrictiveness, it is not wholly without appeal. it gets even more complicated when you begin throwing Alford pleas in the mix. What most don't understand is the primary reason for the no contest plea. Although it has become a popular way of accepting a plea bargain to a lessor charge, the actual intent on pleading no contest is that it can not be used as a conviction in civil proceedings.
this means that if you drive drunk and hit somebody, you can plead no contest to the criminal charge, but in the civil case, they can NOT imply or state that you were convicted of drunk driving. it is up to the prosecuting atty to prove that you were driving drunk, the criminal convection cannot be admitted.

In Florida, it doesn't work that way. Florida held in 2005 that "no contest" convictions may be treated as prior convictions for the purposes of future sentencing. http://www.floridasupremecourt.org/decisions/2005/sc02-1943.pdf

So, it depends on the state?
