Silvio Samuel Conviction Update!





In my last column I informed you all about SIlvio Samuel’s convictions (Muscle Gossip #45- Silvio Samuel CONVICTED - RX Muscle Mag). In this brief update I would like to give you an idea of the potential jail time he is facing. It’s important to understand that there are no mandatory sentencing guidelines for what Slivio is convicted of; however, after consulting a lawyer who practices in California, I think I can give you an idea of what Silvio can expect.

For the first charge of “Inflict Corporal Injury/Spouse” (felony domestic violence), he has the potential to receive up to a five year sentence in state prison, with the possibility of additional time if the victim suffered great bodily injury. In Silvio’s case, the victim was taken to the hospital due to damage to her body as well as the fact that she was knocked unconscious. Pictures of the damage inflicted were used in court as evidence of “great bodily injury”. Great bodily injury, or GBI, refers to physical injuries. While major traumas such as brain damage and paralysis are obvious types of great bodily injury, it’s important to understand that the injury does not have to be permanent or this severe. For the most part, what constitutes GBI is determined on a case-by-case basis.

The next three charges are all “assault w/deadly weapon/instrument non-firearm to produce GBI”, and those all each may result in sentences of 2-4 years.

I asked the lawyer if there was any chance Silvio could walk away from this without serving prison time, and he said, “Without there being some significant mitigating factors that I’m not aware of... No. He’s going to spend some time in prison.”

I asked him for a low-ball guess, “Best case scenario... he could serve all the sentences concurrently, get 50% off for good-time, and get out on parole due to overcrowding in 9 months.”

As for a worst case scenario, “If he served those consecutively, and got no good time, he could be in there as much as 17 years.” I think it is also important to note that because of the severity of these felonies, Silvio will most likely be deported after he finishes his sentence, whatever it turns out to be.

Silvio’s sentencing is on Wednesday, February 29th at 8:30am.
