If Michael De Santa Was Charged For His Crimes

More GTA 5 Villains?

I like that the Pacifist% series is being used as a reference, although there are some pretty insane lengths taken to avoid many of the kills. For instance, mercilessly terrorizing a man in a car for hours until he gets himself run over.

I would give Michael a manslaughter charge for Jay Norris because he was following Lester's instructions, and Michael didn't know that the device he put in the phone was a bomb (hence his reaction when he dialed the number)

Fun fact: Trevor is the only one of the Three Protagonists who isn’t on the Heroes Wiki.

2:54 HE DID THE THING

One thing to remember that would have been really important for the lawyer's death: There is a thing called the felony murder rule. If you're committing an inherently dangerous felony, such as reckless endangerment at an airport or whatever that charge would have been, and someone dies during it, you are guilty of murder. Intent or cause doesn't matter, if they die during your crime, it is your murder. So the lawyer would have been a murder charge, no questions asked.

Can't wait to see how many charges Trevor would have

7:45 I believe if you do the alternate Merryweather heist, Michael is supposed to get his pilot's license. Depending on which series of events you consider canonical, he does have a license

2:48 audibly cheered when Michael got a charge for grand theft auto

This man should really become a lawyer one day

MICHAEL DE SANTA IS NEARLY 7 FOOT TALL ????? HOW DID YOU DSICOVER THIS MOUSAIT WTF

What a shock the character from Grand Theft Auto committed a lot of Grand Theft Auto

I love the noise Trevor makes here😭 5:23

4:58 Probably would’ve racked up more charges under the following headings Manslaughter (and probably the most definitive I can think of); despite depiction, ship crews do generally stay aboard a ship, even in a small capacity but a short layover there were defo people aboard other than the merryweather load. It’s very safe to assume anyone in their engine room or below decks got out alive considering there wasnt much evacuation. Causing a maritime disaster/wreck; They literally sank a massive ship. Someone would have to root through law for something similar to apply from when Schettino got it for the Concordia Mass pollution; ships leak fuel. It’s no secret and they would both harm the wildlife and cause a serious cleanup, would probably cause a fine rather than jailtime tho.

I'd kinda argue, with the DVAU Pacifist series, is that, he himself when the player is controlling him, doesn't kill anyone... when he is for example playing as Trevor or Franklin along Michael in a mission, Michael can still kill people while the player isn't controlling him, so then it didn't count for the pacifist series... thats one minor flaw here

10:43 The director's death could be ruled as a manslaughter or as a felony murder since her death resulted from Micheal's own dangerous actions.

Huge W shouting out DarkViper's Pacifist series. Honestly some of the best GTA videos on the site.

2:10 This would be conspiracy to murder because Lester specifically told Michael to carry out the plan for him. If you do Lester, both him and Michael would receive life sentences if they were convicted.

4:25 skip sponsor

6:56 You could make the argument that Michael shouldn’t even be charged there since the other guy initiated the fight, not the other way around. So theoretically, Michael is just attacking out of self defense!
