If Walter White Was Charged For His Crimes

Saul would have put the sentence down to 7 years

“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.

I can't believe this guy will walk freely after 878 years... This shows how messed up our system is.

dont forget the fly he killed

When your sentence is 2/3 of yodas life you know you fucked up

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

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)

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.

Not even halfway through season 1 and Walt is already spending his life in prison

Nearly a thousand years in prison... That batch is definitely gonna be ruined!

Let not forget “unlawful manufacturing of methamphetamine”

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.

Bro was almost charged a millennium in prison 💀

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.

All that speeding and aggressive driving probably adds up too

There's no way Walt got a higher sentence than Gus 💀💀💀

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.

His attorney being Saul Goodman, he would serve a maximum of 9 years in prison.
