    I remember I followed Belfields rants on his channel here on youtube over a long period of time, but suddenly for some reason he just vanished. Now this video is 9 months later.. 5 and a half year for stalking somebody? 5 and a half year in prison? If it was an attempted murder I could understand that sentence, but.. stalking... He must have uncovered something that hits a nerve into the governmental web somewhere..

    • @iamthat
      @iamthat  8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Nope. No conspiracy. You need to stop watching videos on TH-cam. They are warping your mind, Belfield was found guilty of stealing four people, over a nine year period. The sentence he received was four separate charges added together which is why he is serving five and a half years. It’s as simple as that. If he had not stalked so many people for so long he wouldn’t have got such a long sentence.

      @iamthat  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Alex Belfield was guilty of multiple crimes against multiple people, including defamation, fraud, harassment and blackmail as well as stalking many people over a ten year period.
      His crimes were extensive.
      Belfield’s 5 years and 26 weeks sentence was a result of him being found guilty of stalking four of the eight complainants in this trial.
      For this he received
      2x 2 years 6 months imprisonment.
      2x 13 weeks imprisonment
      These were added together.
      Had Belfield not stalked multiple people, he would not received such a long sentence.
      In our case. Where there were eight complainants, Belfield was found not guilty of four, and then found guilty of two counts of aggravated stalking (with a penalty of 2 years 6 months imprisonment) and two counts of simple stalking (with a penalty of 13 weeks imprisonment).
      Had Belfield been found guilty of all eight counts. His total sentence would have been 20 years.
      It’s also worth noting that Belfield appealed his sentence and lost. It was therefore considered fair.
