My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined.
My day has also been ruined, but mostly because I woke up again in a postmodern clownworld where the most deceitful and lazy among us get disproportionately rewarded.

Not referring to Chris though. It was pretty obvious that it'd be a continuance. Gotta rack up that time served so he can make a deal.
 
chris gets ssi, he never worked long enough to get the ssdi, ssi is what most disabled, mentally ill adults get unless they have worked a certain length of time to qualify for the ssdi which can pay slightly more , it still sucks though . so many people want to live off of ssi and such, and others are trying their damnedest to get off of it and be in a position to not need it.

Chris gets SSDI. He qualified because he had his disability since childhood. You're only required to work to earn SSDI if you start life able-bodied.
 
How long can they keep him in there on continuance? Cause I thought there's a limit to how long they can keep you confined without a conviction let a lone a trial.
Continuances can be filed as often as the defense wishes, but whether or not they're granted depends on the judge. If the judge doesn't want to deal with a case, the judge can grant continuances indefinitely. Given that continuances can be granted 10+ times per case, I think it's safe to say that the defense is trying to keep Chris in jail until his (most likely) sentence has been served. I would also guess the state of Virginia has better things to do than prosecute an obvious retard- especially one with such a large internet following as Chris- so the state and the judge will keep accepting these continuances.

Untrue. He does not have to reapply for benefits, no matter how long he stays incarcerated, he merely has to send notification of his release (including his release papers) to restart them. His old application is still good. This is because they are SSDI payments, not SSI. (Though SSI is still good if suspended for up to a year).

This is assuming his benefits were shut off in the first place, which is not guaranteed. They are not supposed to be shut off, but they could have been by mistake.

If they WERE shut off, he is entitled to receive all the back months before his conviction.

Thank you for the correction! My knowledge of the situation was incomplete, obviously. However, I'm pretty sure that his SSI payments won't be automatically deposited in his commissary account every month. It doesn't work that way. We may also be comparing apples with non-apples, because I'm thinking of how it works in the federal system, which doesn't apply to Chris.

Correct. Either he had them set up as checks, or as direct deposit. If they are still happening, they could be accumulating in Chris' bank account. They would not be deposited into his commissary, however if Barb has access to Chris' bank account she could transfer it. Or she could just spend it on the mortgage. Nobody knows exactly what's happening.

If the SSA DID suspend Chris' payments, he'll have to notify the SSA that they were suspended in error and get them to send the back payments for however many months they were suspended.

My added theory to that is I think the defense wasn’t prepared to have Barb back home unattended in the timeframe of Chris’s release. They know he’ll break parole the second he gets out, and bee-line right back to 14blc and his abused old mother and make them look like fucking idiots for getting him out. It’s in their best interest to keep him warehoused till that whole situation plays out.
 
This would have been the first hearing where Chris's lawyer would have had time to negotiate a plea bargain - and it didn't happen. That tells me that the prosecution isn't eager to get rid of this case. They want to go forward. It may be that neither side have any idea of what to do with Chris after he gets out. No one in his family wants him. He isn't fit to take care of himself. There's no money to have him put in a group home. Jail might be the most convenient place to keep him, at least until the penal system doesn't want him any more.

The defense might be stalling to buy time to put a social worker on the case to figure out what the hell to do with OPL. The prosecution may have demanded a plan for after his release as a condition of the plea bargain.
 
In all seriousness it’s kind of incredible that Chris can be kept in jail indefinitely on the tax payers’ dime without an actual conviction. I’d protest it if I were a shithole Virginia resident but luckily I live in shithole New York :)

As a resident of shithole Virginia, I'm surprised I'm good with this outcome. It's better he be kept in jail rather than him boarding a Greyhound bus and finding him in my area of the state. We have enough weirdos and really don't want any more.

Pack him in a box and ship him to Russia and have the box read “From Ukraine”
 
I want a smug live stream of Chris so badly (I understand protecting the victim in these cases, but this is going too far and ultimately protecting the abuser).
Either way, it's not going to bode in his favor. If they released him now, his life's never going to be the same and he'll probably want for the regimented life of jail again deep down. The only thing he's actively missing is his stupid cartoons and toys.
I wish they'd make it public. The outcome would be a sight to behold for legacy Internet.

What, you don't want to see Chris holding a sign at a stoplight asking for gibs in exchange for a drawing of a shitty sonic re color?
