  • Shouldn't Deuce be in jail for a long LONG time?

    In the episode Grail (season 1) we know what Deuce did (if you can't remember he was in charge of the fake Kosh... that mind sucking feeder).

    Next we see Deuce roaming around B5 in Third Space... did he get out of jail card?

      Doubt it, when Ivanova confront Zack she tells him that he runs most of the "things" down below, and he ain't that stupid (to go and open the air locks).

        I guess I always figured that Garibaldi let Deuce and everybody else out at the same time that he released G'Kar in Point of No Return.

          In "Quality of Mercy" didn't they say they didn't have facilities for long-term incarceration? Cerntainly Earth wouldn't pay to have Duece sent back. What they had him for probably wasn't "death of personality" level. Maybe they just didn't have much of a choice.

            No wonder the crime rate on B5 is high then

              The "crime structure" in Downbelow has always been a mystery to me, but obviously there have been some changes during the 5+ years of the show. At first we have this creature N'Grath which disappears during season one, but is mentioned again in season 5 "Learning Curve" by one of the guys that belong to Trace's gang. In between, we may conclude that Deuce was playing a major role in the organized crime scene of B5, as indicated by Ivanova in "Thirdspace". There are, of course, two major contradictions: If Deuce has been such a big player, why was he released some time after "Grail", and why is he not mentioned in the conversation between Trace and his aid in "Learning Curve", when they speak about a kind of vaccum since N'Grath's disappearence. It gets more disturbing when we learn of the Thieves Guild in "ACtA", which has obviously been around for much longer then the events of this movie. My only answer to this is that there were always many different groups of criminals acting in Downbelow, maybe all trying to pull something big and get more power, as every big big city may have different gangs and so on.

                Maybe conspiring to impersonate a (now death) ambassador only deserves up to three years of jail?
                Remember that precisely thanks to the na'ka'leen feeder there were no witnesses to most of Deuce's crimes.
                And what crime lord worth one credit wouldn't get his henchmen to take the blame for "minor" crimes such as kidnapping a judge?
