"Joseph Lancia, the president of the Rhode Island chapter of the Hells Angels, rejected a plea deal from prosecutors on Thursday that would have sent him to prison for five years."
He's now looking at 61.5 years in prison if convicted.
Let's keep in mind that he's not just facing charges for the Messer Street shooting and the subsequent raid of the Hells Angels clubhouse. There was also an incident at the Cadillac Lounge (strip club on Charles Street).
Is this stuff dependent on witnesses? Witnesses that may change their mind?

That was like a year or so later, right?
Also, 6 years at the ACI is still no joke. To me, the prosecution must have a good bit of confidence for that to be their "plea" deal.
