As KCJake illustrates above, the chances of getting away with this are very slim. Some others brought up a good point that it's not like even if you got away, you'd be able to get your family and get everyone to a small Panamanian village or something. So ultimately, I'd rather spend my life in prison where at least I can see my family every week, vs probably being killed in a shootout (If I get away, I am not "going back" so to speak) or sent to a prison where my family had limited ability to see me. If I got the death penalty though, I'm doing it and going down in a blaze of glory (the scumbag hypothetical me. The real me would never hurt anyone if self or the defense of others was not in play)

20 yearsbis 20% to 30% your life. Can't put a price on those years. I really dont understand why more people dont bolt. Im not wasting 30% of my life when there is a 90% chance I can live in another country and serve zero of it. Granted I would never put myself in that situation but Id be outta here.

I guess I don't really value family that much. They can come visit me in Colombia if they want. Blows my mind people serve 20 year sentences yet were out on bail/bond temporarily

I don't know how extradition treaties work, and what countries have them Would the US really send someone to Bhutan to get me if I fled? Does it depend on how bad the crime is?

I'm not sure if the odds are 90 percent that another country would mean freedom, unless maybe it's a short sentence for something non-heinous. Maybe it is, though. I've never been extradited for a crime.

I guess you could bribe the police in some third-world country if you had enough money, but then you'd have to move to a different country because they're going to start shaking you down every month. It seems ilke it would be a hassle to bribe your way out of extradition, even if it's possible.

Imagine supporting the Chiefs for your whole life and as soon as they start winning you commit a crime that will put you behind bars for the majority of Mahomes's career. And the offense you commited was done to fund your attention seeking fandom.

What a penis.

You stated that no priors not even a speeding ticket correct? If true then I'm thinking I'm an average joe and finding out how to get a fake passport could almost be impossible.

Best odds would be have a friend willing to help out that even slightly looks like you. That friend could claim that you must have took your passport or whatever story while you get out of dodge.

Based on minimal consideration, I say Belarus.

UnBelizable that Belize allows extradition.

What length of prison sentence would make you saw off your ankle monitor and flee?
 

I have a wife and kids so that complicates things. Either I flee and never even speak to them again, much less see them, or I wait it out and at least have some normal years to look forward to. I guess my only hope it’s after a year or so they stop monitoring my family but that’s quite the gamble. Now if I flee and go do something amazing like saving people or something, maybe I can get public sentiment to be let go and return home.

Indonesia

Yeah, 5-7 seems like you might be able to rebuild and have a somewhat decent life afterwards. If you are gonna get 10 or more, it’s definitely worth the extra time on your sentence to risk it. You could probably just join a homeless encampment somewhere if you didn’t want to leave the country.

As this relates to Chiefsaholic, I'd have done the same damn thing. He's probably looking at 25 for armed robbery. A chance at freedom vs. another 10 years is worth it.

Chiefsaholic would 100% run his mouth and get turned in for the reward.

It’s a nice country.

There are signs around the airport promising prison if you **** a minor.

I think Raider fans wear their getup 24/7
Food for thought

Take them with you? You get a new name...you get a new name...we all get new names!
