Nope, sorry. I don't buy it. John was old enough when the escape and the 
Cyberdyne attack went down that he would likely be charged as an adult 
and even if he weren't, he would have spent many years in prison. You 
don't shoot three dozen cops (even if it's just in the leg-- and let's 
face it, a gunshot wound to the leg is often fatal, Arnold's "He'll 
live" comments notwithstanding) even at the age of 12 and ever end up a 
member of Congress.
