[01:01] DaemonFC If they still do charge you with something, it'll at least have to be a lesser offense. [01:01] DaemonFC That alone would give your side of the table more leverage when it comes to taking a plea deal. [01:01] DaemonFC Instead of holding the prospect of going away for 5 years over your head, to prison, the most the prosecutor could possibly get is a year in county.

[03:03] DaemonFC I opposed a bill that would not allow ComEd or other utilities to buy solar panels unless they're made in the United States. [03:04] DaemonFC We need cheap electricity. When we have cheap electricity, manufacturers in the midwest will pay less for the power they use, as well as residential customers.

I supported one that would increase the mandatory minimum sentence for predatory sexual abuse of a child 13 or under to 10 years instead of 5 years and add it to the sex offender registry. [03:06] DaemonFC But I opposed bills that would remove affirmative defense in court for adults who were credibly fooled into believing a person 15 or older was at least 17 years old, as well as an "anti-stealthing" bill, and one that would add sex with a person who is drunk as a sex offender registry crime even if you didn't give them the alcohol. [03:07] DaemonFC I don't believe that the state could meet its burden of proof as to whether the person who was allegedly stealthed was or not. [03:08] DaemonFC And people who get themselves drunk in a situation where they know they're likely to have sex with someone while drunk shouldn't get to scream rape later.

[03:10] DaemonFC You still couldn't buy a handgun (federal), you could buy a long rifle.
