Telltale Games

Was he convicted of murder or manslaughter and was he on his way to death row or just normal prison,i don't think the game ever specify's although i could be wrong on that.

"You're a convicted murderer." - I think it was probably Carley who said that. And other characters at one point. I don't think that Lee had a death sentence, because he was rather... unexcited about the whole ride. As far as we know, he killed the state senator, but despite the position of that person, it's just a single person.

That guy in Norway killed about 80 people and is still alive and well.

Norway has no death sentence at all, the US do. That's a whole other thing, he might or might not have gotten the death sentence.

You don't get a death sentence in the US for just one murder, especially under the circumstances of Lee's murder.

He probably got 15 years to life in prison.

dubesor · 01/20/2013, 06:29 am

It depends. Normally he would get convicted for second degree murder but it differs from state to state. Georgia laws apply and there is no such thing as 2nd degree murder.

He could have gotten anything from Life with parole after min 30 years over Life without parole up to the death penalty.

I doubt killing your wife's spouse in the heat of finding them in your bedroom would give him the death penalty in Georgia, so most likely he got Life.

What dubesor said. There's enough mitigating circumstances that a court won't pass a death sentence. There's also a good possibility that Lee could have pled guilty too, so that's another factor.

zev_zev · 01/20/2013, 07:25 am

He murdered the son of the senator of the state, I think he was given a life sentence.

No, just the state senator, not the son of him.

Really? Damn, Russian interpreters translated that he murdered the son of a Senator.

I thought there were no official translations into other languages?.. Interesting.

dubesor · 01/20/2013, 08:14 am

Let's just say the sentence was enough to ruin his life. Even if he got the lowest sentence possible, he is 37 and would be minimum 67 before getting parole - which I doubt he would have gotten but let's just say he did. That means he comes out an old man with a piddly ~8 yrs left to live. (avg US male life expectancy is 75).
So yea, his life was pretty much over regardless of the specific circumstances.

You right. But the must popular translation of the game on Russian was maded by Tolma4 team, and they have translated that Lee had murdered the son of a senator.

anonymau5 · 01/20/2013, 08:36 am

I always assumed he was going to his trial. Although, I know nothing about the legal system.

Rock114 · 01/20/2013, 09:11 am

Lee was a convicted murderer, was tried, and was sentenced to life in prison. He was on his way to the prison he would spend his remaining days in, coincidentally the same one Rick Grimes and his group would come to occupy, when the police car went off the road. The rest is history.

Nuked · 01/20/2013, 09:34 am

Yeah Carley mentioned he got a life sentence.

Mafon2 · 01/20/2013, 10:15 am

A life sentence for murder? Gosh, US laws are severe :-|.

It's better than the 20 year sentences they give in France.

Why? In the US, you get life sentence and never you never get out again. In France you are just there for 20 years.

In Russia, Lee (if account his crime as murder in affective state) probably could have ended with 3 years (maximum) of freedom limitation or jail (for judge to decide). With the right to get a release after half of the term. We here don't care for human lifes :-|.

Not all murders are a life sentence. 25 is the fewest you can get in the US for 1st/2nd degree murder. In France 20 is the most you can get. I prefer murderers being locked away.
