Of course the judge has the last word. It was just a hypothetic prosecutor joke. I found it quite stupid that Roy K allegedly comissioned another crime, holding a painting hostage to get a reduced sentence. What?! That only put a different person in prison and potentially damaged the painting. I don't understand these people (drug dealers, nazis, climate activists) who keep stealing, looting and defacing Vincent van Gogh's legacy. His life was quite miserable as it is, why tarnish his legacy as well?
