- If Saul Goodman Was Charged For His Crimes In Better Call Saul (2015) & Breaking Bad (2008)
James Morgan "Jimmy" McGill, better known as Saul Goodman, is an American criminal defense lawyer, scam artist, and convicted criminal. Although Saul was sentenced to 86 years in prison, the majority of his crimes were not discovered.
These are all the criminal charges he should have faced.
Our exploration extends beyond fiction as we draw parallels to real-world scenarios. We examine cases of real-life criminals and their prosecutions, drawing on legal expertise to examine the likelihood of the criminal activities from Saul Goodman leading to actual charges. This Includes the laws and sentencing guidelines of the locations it is set in for a realistic sentencing and conviction.

He technically got charged
For every crime he did
Technically? He was very literally charged
Not for every crime he committed, just the ones from when Saul became an accessory to Walter White's meth empire, this video goes over every crime he ever committed on screen.
7 years… also 85 years but 7 years
not technically but actually
Saul was the only one that did actually get charged
Not for all crimes
And the only one who alive
@@nickie3969 No Jesse lived
Jesse was supossed to be charged for his crimes, but Vince changed the Idea, since his friends wanted a good final for Jesse
@@Bernieboii36 Unfortunately. And we "got" to see that boring El Camino.
Saul got them down to 7 years.
He wasn't charged for all of his crimes, just what they could prove.
But this video is incredibly stupid anyways because whoever created it doesn't take into account consistent sentences. They don't even take into account the fact that he's a minor in the first 10 seconds of the video and give him 2 years for embezzlement for stealing a few dollars. As an eight year old child. This just isn't even remotely close to accurate.
@@iPartyRockiI mean everything else is right I mean con artistry is fraud however in total aside the embezzlement thing his sentence would have been 165 plus life in prison
“I can’t take a bribe…
y’know, I can take a retainer.”
*ACCEPTING A BRIBE*
he takes the bribe later
She declined his offer and insisted on bribing him instead of hiring him. Which he took.
Ironically, from all the big-time criminals in BB and BCS universe, he's the only one who wouldn't get death penalty, even if it were reinstated in New Mexico. Saul commits nearly every crime on the book but murder.
He committed murder
Edit: If you see this, before you reply nonsense, please look at 7:20.
@@JKBDTS who did he kill
@@jaimelannister1797 He killed the guy in the desert in Bagman.
@@JKBDTS no he didn't... Mike killed all those guys

Bro gets 2 years in prison as an eight-year-old for stealing a few dollars lmao
💀 This had me
Welcome to the US
In Illinois, Embezzlement of $500 to $10,000 is a Class 3 felony which has a minimum of 2 years in prison
@@cinemacopyeah but you didn’t account for him being underage
he took like 20 dollars max from the cash register@@cinemacop
I’d love to see the entire Salamanca family’s charges, maybe even including Abuelita! But ofc, do your own thing, this content is gold! ❤
Abuelita would get one count of hit and run for sure, but who knows what she was up to in her younger years…
@@ndhickson3599She wasn't a criminal before.
Considering Tuco got "Salsa" on the carpet, she didn't do too much criminal activity
@@JKBDTS I was joking but honestly with the Salamancas anything is possible
@@ndhickson3599 She’s a biznatch
He was charged. He worked his way down from life plus 170, to 7 and a half years, then confessed and got like 84 years
But only for the ones "they" knew. Not 100% of them!
0:22 Jimmy was probably to young to be criminally charged at this point and if he was he would definitely go to juvenile court.
the judge gonna laugh when they hear the amount of money he took, maybe the judge gonna just scare him
The age of criminal responsibility in Illinois is 0. Anyone can be criminally charged, no matter what age they are.
No way he's getting two years for embezzlement at whatever age he was.@@cooperhurst2639
@@cooperhurst2639Truly an American way
I mean, he got +80 years in prison, so this wasn't that far away from the series
Pretty darn far away actually. They didn't know anything about what saul have done with walter. They didn't had proofs, and his sentence jumped in a instant. That's what happened i assume

7:19 this isnt accessory to murder because it isnt murder. Mike killed the driver as the driver was attempting to kill Saul, meaning he was acting in defense of another person, which means it falls under self defense.
I'm pretty sure that blowing someone's head off from 500 yards away with a definitely illegally owned high powered sniper rifle whilst protecting someone carrying laundered money doesn't fall under self defence rules.
@@qwijbo not sure on that. There is the concept of felony murder, which is if you murder someone while committing a felony, ie. the situation you've created by committing the felony causes you to have to kill someone to successfully do so. The classic scenario for this sort of thing would be if you are robbing a gun store and they shoot at you to defend themselves (important note here, their use of deadly force would be justified), killing them could be considered felony murder, since you killed someone in order to commit a felony, even though they were using deadly force against you.
I'm not sure how this would apply if BOTH parties are committing felonies. The driver is attempting to kill Saul in order to take the illegal money, which itself could be felony murder. Is killing someone who trying to kill you or another in order to commit (not to prevent) another felony, murder? It is a good question and I certainly don't know the answer. Maybe legaleagle could take a stab at it.
I don't think the legality of the weapon makes a difference for self defense. If you defended yourself from an attacker with an illegal weapon, in most cases you would probably be guilty for an illegal weapons charge and not guilty by self defense for murder, since they can and should be considered separately.
@@bobbobert9379 I suppose it really depends on which lawyer could argue the case better, frankly I just made an assumption, but looking at New Mexico defence laws (assuming they were in New Mexico at the time and not Mexico) it doesn't specifically state that defending someone who is committing a crime from being killed is not self defence so maybe you're right. Then again, it could easily be argued that it is, as you say, felony murder because it probably would be seen as Mike being involved directly in handling laundered/drug money. I suppose you could argue Mike just happened to be there and was a concerned citizen with a high powered rifle, but that is very unlikely to work given the circumstances.
I also would assume that it would still be felony murder despite the cartel members attempting to rob and kill Saul because Mike and Saul were still committing a crime at the time and I doubt the law would distinguish them as separate events. This is of course all assuming that Saul having the money would be a criminal offense given that it most certainly was laundered money from selling illegal substances. If for some reason it couldn't be proven that the money was illegally obtained or laundered then it would be much easier to argue self defence, but Mike would still probably go down for illegal firearms charges anyway(again making an assumption that the weapon is illegal, which it most certainly would be).
Either way, it just goes to show, much like the series shows itself, that laws are complex and can be manipulated either way depending on how well you understand them and how a lawyer can argue the case.
I like to imagine that this thread was made by two actual American judges arguing about this
Saul was standing in the middle of the road, he didn't have to.
There ought to be some federal charges on top of all of this. He helped administer an illicit drug enterprise spanning across state lines. He'd be hit with RICO charges for sure.
4:23 that's the goofiest crime i ever seen
I like that you gave and separated the crimes into different states. Great job
Damn he was lucky to even get 84 years
86
At some point, additional prison sentences become kinda pointless in his case.
Saul is like the uncle everyone knows who’s got a reputation for degenerate behaviours that may arise from time to time😂
Can the next video be if Tony Soprano was arrested?
Yeah please do tony
This would be great
What a great suggestion!
yea this would be awesome
Techincally he would also get an assault charge when teaching the street thugs a lesson, since he made them believe they were going to be physically harmed.
but should it come to some degree of self defencee as the thugs were gonna jump him? or does alburqurque court not do that
@@garrysminecraftyoutubechannel self defense ends when the threat ends. His backup showing up with guns when the thugs have him "cornered" could be considered self defense, but that ended when they proceeded to tie them up and kidnap them.
@@bobbobert9379 ahh ok thanks
Coercion also I believe
Trying to charge saul is like trying to attach the center of 2 magnets to each other
What Saul was doing with the residents of sandpaper settlements was actually good for the residents
FINALLY. ive been waiting for so long and you do the one video ive been waiting for
To be fair he wanted the sandpiper case to go swiftly and the firm was waiting longer so they would be more money
God, 5 minutes in and he already has 23+ years in prison
Next request: The Gallagher family from Shameless!
You should rank the criminals from all your videos with the most charges and longest sentence. Just a thought… great videos btw!
I think so far the joker has the longest sentence
6:27 that wasn’t criminal damage; that was destruction of property which would only lead to a fine.
How is he this corrupt and not in congress????
This was actually pretty accurate. The original sentencing that Saul got for his crimes was life + 190 years.
They didn't know most of his crimes and that was maximum and here it's minimum.
@@JKBDTS yeah. So they charged him on less crimes but on the maximum sentence.
While in this video, Saul was charged on more crimes but on the minimal sentence.
Still seems pretty accurate then.
Would of been perfect as a politician in office, even as president..
Saul be like : 8 years take it or leave it
you forgot about slippin jimmy! he HAD to have commited so many war crimes in that show i never watched.
That show isn't canon
I think we might be missing the Chicago Sunroof here…
Chucked saved him from getting charged with that
He defacated to a SUNROOF
Just seeing this makes me wanna watch the whole thing again
Actually, this video doesn’t include what Saul did in the third series in the Breaking Bad universe; the critically acclaimed “Slipping Jimmy”.
Good thing he's the world's 2nd best lawyer 😉
(Again)
52 years with good behaviour.
would jimmy using a scanner really be a crime? thought police scanners were legal
Cool video, you should do rick grimes (or anybody from walking dead for that matter) next
As Jesse told Walter in an early episode of BB, "Sometimes you need a criminal attorney, and sometimes you need a CRIMINAL attorney".
2:06 props for counting the distinct scams in that fugue
“But with good behavior, who knows?”
To be fair he had a sentence around that but got it down to 7 years, then back up to 86.
I'd argue that him scanning a dude who thinks he got a Rolex instead of a real one when he never even tried to give away the Rolex instead just got it taken away is abit of a stretch
Good video. What about accessory after the fact, with the prison inmates who got shanked. The same for his involvement in the poisoning of Brock. Would he get anything for his defamation of Howard Hamlin? And then there's the lying under oath at the end.
I cant believe you didnt include his violation of a non-disclosure agreement.
Hardest mofo with a combover you will ever see in fiction
Got me at embezzlement
1:17 I like this unintentional call back!
He can talk himself down to 6 months probation
A full video for ol' slippin Jimmy
He's a lawyer...he'll defend himself.
Have you done one for his team: Francesca, Huell and Kuby?
This is why the game is about how not to get caught
I don’t think embezzlement fits the bill with the first crime, swiping cash out of the register, fits more into petty theft
Do Niko Bellic, Johnny Klebitz, and Luiz Lopez next please!
But not our Jimmy. Couldn't be precious Jimmy. Stealing them blind. And he gets to be a lawyer? What a sick joke!
"CRIMINAL lawyer..."
It's neat how you broke it down by each state, I wish more people did that
Saul was a real gangster
My boy got 87 years
Wait, what about that substance he gave to Howard to make his pupils go big and him feeling all fired up?
What happened to the Top boy characters video?
He was, Sir.
Finally Saul Goodman! I'd like to see Carl Johnson's or Niko Bellic's sentences
If we’re talking GTA protagonists, then Toni Cipriani has committed the worst crimes in GTA history. He killed a deli owner and served his insides afterwards and he committed an act of terrorism and blew up an entire district of the city
@@emmanuelbongar7370ahhhh yes, GTA Liberty City Stories. Childhood. Nostalgia 😂😂😂😂😂😂
It should’ve been 3 kidnapping charges
He'd bring it down to seven years.
Some of the earlier crimes the statute of limitations would have removed them
Saul falls to the floor: *FRAUD*. That's comical. 😆
He can defend himself in court.
he would still walk out a free man
30.5 years...how long would Saul have to serve for possibility of parole?
Talking like a pastor for 1 and a half years is more than I would have guessed
Have you considered charging Agent 47 from the Hitman Series?
Statute of limitations would’ve prevented lots of these
what about, during the court scene in the final episodes, where he admitted to lying under oath
And he had all that talked down to a Seven-Year Sentence.
If they only knew all the stuff...
Breaking and entering Chuck's house. Sending Mike to fix the door and take pictures.
Mike was let in.
final charge: 7 years
Awesome video. Do a video like this about Walter White
They already did it. It's on their channel. Pretty good. They did all of the Breaking Bad/BCS universe
Bro fr said "bet"
He better call Sauce.
i like how half of his crimes are fraud
Man that's really lot of crimes
The vine boom was a great choice
If Saul Goodman Was Charged For (All Of) His Crimes
Of
Saul would cut it down to 1 year in prison
I dont think a child can be charged with embezzelment
Better Call Someone to Saul
Eh, he could get that down to 1 year probation
When James McGill was a kid, he would have been charged with theft of the money in the cash register not embezzlement.
So clearly Saul got away with some of his crimes
Thats why i fight for you Albuquerque!
He's 5'11". It was stated in his police description in episode 13 season 6 of Better Call Saul
World Trade Center height, huh?
Edit: Not anymore
I am not entirely sure if the "Accessory to Murder" in the Desert would count, since it's kinda Self Defense, right?
I mean, the guy was about to drive him over and wanted to kill him before that.
1 lifetime and 190 years.
So you telling me, IF he was born again, he would be transported to prison after he is born?
No accessory to murder charges for Hank and Gomez?
This guy didn’t catch the end of better call Saul
Do tyler durden please
All sentences to run concurrently, so out in no time! Hmm, perhaps that's a tad bitter.
