- If Walter White Was Charged For His Crimes In Breaking Bad (Seasons 1-5)
Walter Hartwell White Sr., also known by his alias Heisenberg is the protagonist of the American crime drama television series Breaking Bad
Our exploration extends beyond fiction as we draw parallels to real-world scenarios. We examine cases of real-life criminals and their prosecutions, drawing on legal expertise to examine the likelihood of Walter White's criminal activities leading to actual charges.
Please note that the video you are about to watch is entirely fictional and is produced solely for the purpose of raising awareness on the consequences of committing a crime. The scenes depicted in this video are not real and do not reflect any actual events or persons. We do not condone or promote any illegal or unethical behavior, and this video is intended to serve as a cautionary tale to deter individuals from engaging in criminal activity.
Saul would have put the sentence down to 7 years
Jimmy would have gotten it back up to 86 years
Maybe 4 with good behavior
Okay but what about the fine?
And one broken leg.
6 month probation
“Free my boy, he ain’t do nothing wrong”
The boy in question:
Funny enough, the one law that Walter broke in the show that he actually got charged for was driving with a damaged windshield.
Lmao
That was walter's fault the others were heisenberg's
didn’t you read the title of the video
@@AbderraoufBoudrouma i read?
@@Out-Law_09 i'm sorry instead of mentioning the commenter i mentionned you 😂
I can't believe this guy will walk freely after 878 years... This shows how messed up our system is.
It’s a show💀
@@HotSoccerMom681 its a joke
He died at 52. And nobody lives 878 years.
@@31redorange08 you don’t know that…
@@EaZeaNot on this planet. People struggle to live to 90 sometimes and the highest was 100 something. maybe in the future
dont forget the fly he killed
200 years easily
Death sentence
Eternity in the hole
That was jessie
Walt was an accessory
Actually 2 flies
Lets not forget that the m60 Walter buys is a fully automatic weapon which depending on the state has its own plenty and fine. He also almost kills Brock and to poison him he had to make the lily poison. Not to mention the Poison he had to make for Lydia
The poison for Lydia was that which he had made earlier, but he hid it
the poison he gave brock had no chance of killing him
@@alilweeb7684he could have been allergic
M60 is unlawful possession of an NFA firearm it was mentioned. NFA items are legal in New Mexico so long as they are registered with the federal government pursuant to the National Firearms Act.
@@TheAtkey Ooo didn't know that
It's crazy that he had basically a life in prision sentence only 4 episodes into the show (considering he was 50 years old and he already had to pay with 53 years)
Maybe thats the reason he got so far then
@@theauthorisnotdead6080 yeah hahaha, he went from kicking some adolescent in a store to killing a man in a basement real quick
Life sentence is just 2 years here.
When your sentence is 2/3 of yodas life you know you fucked up
Wasnt he 900? 878 is like 98/99%😅
Not even halfway through season 1 and Walt is already spending his life in prison
He only had 2 years to live. Not even halfway through the first episode he'd already be spending the rest of his life in jail.
The moment he broke bad
Nearly a thousand years in prison...
That batch is definitely gonna be ruined!
Oh no....

Gotta love how TAX EVASION adds the biggest fine at 6:36. Nothing else prior creates a bigger fine, even when added together, than Tax Evasion of all things.
Well, sounds fair, you steal money (kind of), you pay it back
(I gotta say, the government is already stealing by charging us with taxes, but it's a law that unfortunately we are all aware of and have to follow)
Because you gotta pay the money lol
Welcome to USA
Never cross the IRS
Yea bringing a bomb into a hospital only gets you 2 years, but tax evasion is obviously so much worse with 5 years
Let not forget “unlawful manufacturing of methamphetamine”
Lawful manufacturing of meth exist?
@@BirdOneTwoOne Maybe for research purposes? Scientists can get away with anything
@@BirdOneTwoOnethats what i was thinking about
@@BirdOneTwoOne Yes, actually. Methamphetamine is a Schedule II drug under the Controlled Substances Act, which means it's legal to manufacture for medical purposes. It even has a brand name - Desoxyn. Though I'm not sure if any doctor would still prescribe it.
All that speeding and aggressive driving probably adds up too
Saul would've brought it down to 6 months probation
I’d argue a few more charges could be tacked on here:
At the time of the show airing, he would’ve been charged for smoking weed.
Him lying to Hank, a police officer about where the lab equipment went is obstruction of Justice.
For the explosion of Tuco’s place, you could charge him as well for Destruction of property and manufacturing Mercury Fulminate, as well as extortion for threatening to blow Tuco up if he didn’t agree to the money-up-front deal.
Shortly thereafter, he sexually assaults Skyler. On the same topic, he sexually harasses his coworker and gets fired, which is also of course illegal.
For the Barrel of methalymine, he could be charged on top of burglary for trespassing the complex holding the chemicals as well as breaking and entering for burning open the door, and the quintuple whammy of having manufactured the thermite bomb.
He commits public indecency for his fugue state by going nude in a convenience store.
He threatens two low level dealers outside a hardware store.
Threatening Saul could get him a charge for extortion.
When he takes the meth from under Jesse’s sink he’s also breaking and entering.
He could be charged for another breaking and entering as well as Jane’s murder the night that happened.
He could be charged for at best vandalism and disturbing the peace and at worst destruction of property when he attempts to break into Ted Beneke’s office.
The pizza on the roof is vandalism.
He helps Hank to illegally put a tracker on one of Guses vehicles.
The destruction of the lab could be constituted destruction of property.
He manufactured Lily of the valley poison and more importantly poisoned Brock with it.
He threatens Saul when he says “we’re done when I say we’re done”
He threatens Hank when Hank figures out he’s Heisenberg in the garage.
His “confession” tape could be considered obstruction of Justice.
He speeds in order to get out to Tohajilee.
He could be charged for solicitation or accessory to murder because of Jack’s men killing hank.
He breaks and enters into Skyler’s home in the finale. This is of course after about two seasons of him continuously threatening her and then attacking her at the near end of Ozymandias, which is of course also illegal. At the end of Ozymandias he also kidnapped a child and committed breaking and entering in order to put Holly in the hands of that one fire department.
Creating a fake identity with the disappearer is Fraud.
He trespassed as well as committed breaking and entering in order to enter Gretchen and Elliot’s home.
He did not interfere with Jesse murdering Todd.
And of course, most importantly, he didn’t go-karting with Jesse.
Most of what you say is correct. But would the pizza on the roof count when it’s his own house?
@@SomeGuyWhoPlaysGames333 I forgot that it was still technically co owned, so no, I guess it wouldn’t count.
He wasn’t the aggressor in ozymendias, you could argue it under self-defense
Also, referencing janes death, failure to rescue or call 911 when someone is dying is not illegal, and you cannot be arrested or sued for it.
@@AnimationDuckTheThird it was him rolling her over that caused her to choke though, which I would classify as manslaughter
Imagine even trying to litigate all of this. Walt was right. Even if Hank had successfully arrested him, he'd be sending the next five years just going from a jail cell to the courthouse and back again before he'd even start his first day in prison. Given the state of his cancer around that time, it's doubtful he'd even live to see that day.
Walt proved his point
Knowing the New Mexico Judicial system they would have found him unfit to be housed inside a jail or prison and would have ended up on ankle monitor.
Bro was almost charged a millennium in prison 💀
1:41 The fact that he made that fulminated mercury disguised as meth would also likely get him a charge of manufacturing an explosive device and illegally concealing it as a weapon within the pocket of his jacket.
I guess you could also apply that to him making the bomb for Hector, I assume manufacture and possession are separate crimes obviously
@@c0nk2879 Yeah good point actually, I didn’t even think of that
His attorney being Saul Goodman, he would serve a maximum of 9 years in prison.
There's no way Walt got a higher sentence than Gus 💀💀💀
Because Gus is much tidier and more professional than Walt, he has a lower body count.
It’s because of how little of Gus’s actions you see on-screen compared to Walt.
@@cometmoon4485 he almost definitely has a higher off screen body count
@@vincenzofranchelli2201no actually, it’s confirmed in the entire breaking bad universe, Gus has only 155 kills, while Walt has 182 (counting both indirect and direct)
@@Immort4l5 ye im not counting that plane crash
I am honestly shocked that Walter White would have so many charges for unlawful manufacturing of methamphetamine
Oh man, as soon as he got that first “unlawful manufacturing of methamphetamine” I knew he was in for it
You should do a what if frank gallagher was charged for his primes, it would be so entertaining
Crimes*
@@limyize 🤓
What if Eratosthenes was charged for his primes?
@@sb_dunk Crimes*
@@limyize *primes
Canonically Walter died in 2010. If Walter would be immortal he would’ve served prison until the year 2888…
To get this into perspective, if Walter was sent to jail in 1061 (in the middle of Middle Ages), Walter would leave the jail when WW2 starts…
I always thought Walter just started running and pressed the button when he heard Hector ringing the bell lmao I can just picture him running across the parking lot offscreen
it’s hard to see but you can see the timer counting down when hector is ringing the bell
Technically when Walter kills crazy 8 it could classify as self defense because he was trying to stab Walter
You can’t claim self defence when you kidnap and unlawfully imprison someone. He wouldn’t have needed to kill him had he not done that, if anything Krazy 8 would be able to claim self defence had he succeeded in stabbing Walt with the plate.
1:54 false imprisonment for locking someone in a Porta potty lmao
LMAO, We haven't even covered 1/3 of the video or even two seasons, and his sentence already reaches more than 100 years.
"...and one moving violation."
It would be really interesting to see you do one of these on Peter Griffin or SpongeBob in that episode where he stole a balloon and yeeted a peanut at a clam (unforgivable offenses)
The fact he didn't get arrested for throwing that peanut still makes me so god damn mad
T
Peter Griffin would have like a 10 times bigger sentence than Walt lol
I think some of these burglary charges could be knocked down to breaking and entering
Ehhh, most of them are burglary with intent to commit a felony if anything, which would carry a higher sentence.
You missed one, tampering with evidence. When Walt brings Mikes body to Todd to dispose of it. We never see it on screen but it is implied.
Seems like there could dozens more charges listed. This video just scratches the surface!
The verdict is not entirely accurate, as they say in the series, according to the contract, Walter and Jesse produced methamphetamine once a week for 3 months, also before that they were in the car, probably 5 times, and after the murder of Gustav 5 times, a total of about 25, and maybe more times
I doubt they’d be charged for each time they manufactured meth but more likely be charged for an ongoing conspiracy. Even than, it’s highly unlikely the manufacturing counts would be stacked; only the murder counts would likely be stacked.
Walt had to get something for watching Jane die
Incorrect.
No he didnt, she died because she overdosed, she is 100% responsible for her death meaning that walt didnt need to save her as it wasnt his fault
I love how his fine is a joke in comparison to how much he made over the seasons, and when compared to his actual sentence.
Thank you for making this video I’ve been waiting for this video
''FREE MY BOY HE DIDNT DO NOTHIN'' The boy in question:
The fact he would’ve been in jail for the rest of his life even if he was healthy in the first season is insane
Most the sentences likely wouldn’t be stacked with the exception to the murder ones.
not really, the dude is a serial killer by the end of the show so absolutely deserves to be locked up for the rest of his life
@@keepitsecret-dl1prNobody deserves to be locked up for life. There shouldn't even be a body in place to decide that for the people. Only the people themselves should have the right to decide.
at 4:56 Saul Goodman straight up says he commited
"Misdemeanor trash burning" and said he needed to pay a fine.
1:22 How can be first degree murder if Krazy-8 tried to kill Walt with sharp, broken piece of plate
You can’t kidnap someone then claim self defense when they start attacking you. 😂
We can also assume that he manufactured methamphetamine more times than was shown in the show, my guess is that’d put him over 1000 years
There was also allowing Jane to die and kidnapping Holly as well as the video he made with false claims against Hank
Would him killing Krazy8 really be considered murder? Walt only starts to choke him after Krazy8 tries to stab him with a large shard.
Given the circumstances and the fact that he didn't immediately report the Krazy8 situation to the police (for obvious reasons) then anything that happened to Mr. 8 is on Waltuh.
It's still murder since Krazy8 was no longer a threat to Walt (and Jesse) once he was knocked out and falsely imprisoned in the basement. If Krazy8 died along with Emilio from the phosphine gas, then you could argue self defense since Walt and Jesse were being held at gunpoint with intent to kill them afterwards. Basically, once an attacker has been incapacitated and is no longer a threat to you or others, killing them would be considered excessive.
Since Walter was already committing a felony (false imprisonment) he’s likely not entitled to self defense.
hows the law supposed to know that?
Felony + death = inevitable murder charge
So if you kidnap somebody, and they trip and break their neck and die and you had nothing to do with it, you’re probably being charged with murder (that’s my understanding of the law anyway)
Saul will get this down to a parking ticket
I want to see if Joel Miller was charged for his crimes in the HBO Last of Us Series.
hell yeah
On the note of characters in an apocalyptic world, I’d also suggest Negan.
Both the comic and show version would work. I prefer the comic version, but the show version would’ve committed more “crimes” (which technically would no longer exist after the government collapsed) in Season 7’s part of the story.
That idea seems silly for an apocalypse TV series
What about Jane's death? Isn't it illegal not to provide assistance when a person's life is endangered?
It is not a crime to fail to provide assistance when someone’s life is in danger.
@@edwardromo7914 What about not notifying authorities? That's still gross negligance no?
@@kristiansvendsen6906 I don’t think so.
@@kristiansvendsen6906Yeah, he could be charged for not alerting the authorities
actually if you rewatch the scene Walt murdered her - if he hadn't been there she never would've rolled over onto her back, and then he let her choke on her own puke
Hello im back i gotta say i love your videos senetencing these criminals to their own cauldron of punishment
This is terrific. If for nothing else than posing as a fun way to learn about criminal justice.
Nah, I think the prosecutor would've pushed for the death penalty for all those crimes but then again, I do believe most or some of those major crimes would be hard to prove because of lack of evidence.
No death penalty in New Mexico
Thoughts:
Regarding the bomb , isnt manufacturing within itself also a crime? And if so would that be added on seprately or be a larger accessory to murder
So almost 900 years in prison and near to a 200k fine. Thats nuts.
4:57 The Actual Crime Walter Commits is Misdemeanor Trash Burning and he would get sentenced a fine of $52,000
Felony murder rule would 100% apply to some of these.. making it even worse
Letting Jane die was one of the worst things Walt did, yet it was completely legal.
I'm not familiar with the laws in the USA, but in Brazil, he would be charged with 'Omissão de Socorro,' which is similar to 'Failure to provide urgent aid.' This is because no medical qualification is needed in such cases (literally just turn the body sideways). Moreover, he simply watched her choking and didn't called 911.
@@felipemagraobxt What if you don't know the proper procedure? Seems dangerous. In North America you are not obligated to provide assistance because it's not your job and it's supposed to be left 'to the professionals' in case you do something wrong. In fact, in America you can be sued by the person if you're a random stranger and provide aid. This isn't a thing in Canada though, there are good samaritan laws to prevent people from getting sued if you try to help someone.
@@Sursion I understand. But in my country - if you're able to call someone, or even dial "911" (which is equivalent to 192 here) and try to turn the person's body sideways to prevent choking; every action counts and you are legally required to assist if you are able to.
We have good samaritan laws here as well. We can save someone's life even if they don't want so.
Of course, you're not expected to perform an open-heart surgery - that requires specialized knowledge. However, assisting someone who is choking or at risk of drowning in vomit involves a straightforward procedure with simple instructions available in most restaurants. You wouldn't face legal repercussions for providing such assistance here.
Here in Germany you can also be charged for failure to lend assistance.
@@BoxforInters but assistance is even calling 112 (911 for usa lol)
you missed the manslaughter charge when he killed jessoes gf
Loved this
I feel like an argument could be made regarding the charge given for murdering Gale. Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't Walther supposed to originally kill Gale?
They flipped a coin iirc.
@@GCLU that'd be when they decided who to destroy emilo's body and kill krazy-8
@@user-yo2wi5di4h So it was originally a conspiracy-turned accessory to murder? It just seems like there should be another charge in this case.
6:41 wouldn’t be tax evasion because he was laundering it with the car wash. Money laundering involves paying taxes
This is an interesting idea, what would the bad decisions of our favorite characters get us in real life? Cool vids!
MOUSAIT did it 2 months before him with the same editing, i would say he stole the video idea but idk
Wouldn't the killing of Krazy-8 be counted as self-defense, as Krazy was going to kill him with the ceramic shard?
I hope he gets out of prison in 878 years, pays the 171K fee from his 80M and starts a new life with the rest of the money.
Better Call Saul
Saul Goodman should be next as that would be interesting to see
We already get it in BCS
@@LaCheeeevre I mean if all his crimes were counted, not the ones that they had
Still wondering where kidnapping holly is
Pretty sure they would take his $80 million as well.
imagine walter white spends time in 878+ years in prison and pays 171,000 dollars then continues his life as a normal person
1:08 I think it would be very arguable that his actions of kidnapping, imprisonment and killing of Domingo can be justified by Walt's fear for his life not just of Domingo but of his criminal underworld affiliations that may also threaten his life as a result of not doing what he did.
Not justifiable to kill someone you have kidnapped instead of calling the police especially when the situation started because you cooked meth
@@cinemacopbtw it's a second degree, not first degree murder
criminally underrated channel
With manufacturing, you should have counted each tented house in the montage as a separate charge, as each house is a new cook.
I wouldn’t agree that the murder of crazy 8 was 1st degree, more like 2nd or self defence as Walt didn’t want to kill him but found out he was gonna be killed by crazy 8 when he was released so he didn’t really have a choice
i wouldn't think so, it was more of crazy-8 acting in self defense due to the fact that walter and jesse kidnapped and imprisoned him.
@@whatsthewifipassword2802 yes but remember that crazy 8 was gonna kill Walt and Jesse when they were at the rv
@@jamisonlaundry5852 just because walt was acting out of self defense in the RV does not mean he was in the right to kidnap crazy-8 and plan out his murder. he shouldve turned himself, jesse, and crazy-8 into the police and let them know of emilio.
Crazy-8s murder turned to 1st degree murder after they imprisoned him in Jesse's basement and came up with a plan to kill him. If Crazy-8 died from the Phosphene gas, then yes, it could be considered manslaughter or maybe even self defense with no charge at all, but his failure to turn Crazy-8, Jesse, and himself after the Phosphene had knocked him unconscious definitely makes it first degree.
@@cutmeloosebruce1955 Nothing to even argue about. After they imprisoned him, instantly they should call police not to be sentenced for murder. Even then they sould pray that crazy-8 woulnd rat on them for cooking meth
I would mark the death of Krazy-8 as self defence since Krazy-8 wanted to kill Walt.
Walt knew Krazy 8 was going to kill him before he went downstairs. Walt could have walked away, instead he killed him.
Self defense can’t be argued in a case where you are the aggressor. In this case Walt has both kidnapped and imprisoned Krazy 8, so he doesn’t get a right to the self defense argument.
Bro got 8 months to live..and you are giving him 878 years in prison??
I dont know US laws, but in Estonia and in many other countries it is crime if you knowingly do not help person who is dying from overdose, injuries, bullet wounds, heart attack etc.
D for Danger - Assess the situation.
R for Response - Check consciousness, check on vital signs.
A for Airway - Open airway.
B for Breathing - Check respiration rates.
C for Circulation - Give chest compressions.
If you for some reason cant or dont know first aid methods yourself, at least call 911 / ambulance.
Estonia law :
§ 123. Endangerment
For placing and leaving another person in a situation that could endanger his life or seriously damage his health - is punished with a financial penalty or up to three years of imprisonment.
§ 124. Failure to help
Knowingly failing to provide assistance to a person in a life-threatening condition in the event of an accident or general danger, if providing assistance would have been possible without endangering the assistant, - shall be punished with a monetary penalty or up to three years of imprisonment.
Leaving Jane dying was one of the worst crimes Walt did in early seasons (along with killing Krazy-8 with bycycle lock) and showed that he totally lost his moral compass. Human life did not matter to him any more . He was ready to kill and leave person dying if it meant it saves his meth business and he is not caught by police..
I kinda think the first murder would count as self defense tbh. But I’m not sure if the other person needs to physically attack you first (not just present a threat) in order for it to be considered that
Remember when Jesse leaves an he hires Todd and in a montage it shows around 15+ houses covered in green and yellow covers and a cook must have happened in every single one of those houses so that’s an extra 15 charges of unlawful manufacturing of methamphetamine
Not to mention every time he possesses the firearm with a defaced serial number
I think he forgot "unlawful manufacturing of methamphetamine".
The best part is this is lowballing it pretty hard. Each day he went in to work for Gus would've been another charge of making meth. And he did that for a good few months
This is sick. Can you do Jax of Sons of Anarchy?
Probably the saddest thing from this show was drew sharpe. Losing a child and never even finding a grave, bike, trace, anything must be devastating. Your imagination is the limit to the possibilities of the suffering your own creation has endured.
Walter and everyone else involved in the train heist would be charged with murder one for Drew Sharp since the murder happened during the committing of a felony.
Would the charge be taken off if Walter snitched on the other ones?
the doctor gave him 1-2 years but the judge gave him more tahn 878
He also would have his Tesco club card revoked probably
Car door slams
Walter's Sentence: Shoots up 9 years.
The fines are too small. Heavy criminals should be charged in tens of thousands for a crime.
Bro could pay the fines easily, but would serve several lifetimes in jail lol
Technically he evaded arrest when he died
Wouldn't killing Krazy-8 also fall under self defence since he was going to let him go if he didn't notice the missing plate piece ?
Thought that. too
it's not self defense if the perpetrator was a victim to your false imprisonment+kidnapping, krazy8 would've actually had a better shot at self defense than walt
Nope, Walt didn’t need to fight back as Krazy-8 was unable to move.
There should be only one account of manufacturing meth, one count of money laundering, one count of distribution of illicit drugs. I dont understand why it has to be counted as per session. If he had been caught, and that was suppose to happen once only. Yes, murders go can be added per victim.
You forgot the "not saying thank you for the waitress that wished you happy birthday". 100+ years in prison.
Gotta love how the crimes like money laundering, bribery, drug related charges carry more time in prison than things like arson and assault. Man the justice system is f’d
Look at how small the punishment is for second-degree murder.
Well at least he can cover the financial aspect of his sentence
If I took a swig every time Walter would be charged for Unlawful Manufacturing of Methamphetamine...
I'd wake up to see him and Gus themselves.
9:27 Walt should’ve gotten conspiracy to murder as well because he planned on killing on Jesse until he realized he was only used for making drugs, not partnered
By the time he met Saul he already was facing 100 years and by then he was only in the criminal world for just a few months.
almost a thousand year sentence, imagine if he could live that out?
"But with good behaviour who knows"
-James McGill
First he helped hector kill himself in a suicide bombing he made poison illegally and poisoned broke and he kidnapped holly since he was a fugitive so had no custody and lastly if Saul was there he could’ve made it around 15 years in jail
All crimes: 1 year.
Tax evasion: 877 years and 171k
wow this guy really was the danger
I am pretty sure there are laws against desecration of a human body on top of the tampering with evidence
