Analysis

This market prices the probability that Jack Doherty receives a prison sentence of 5 or more years at 87%, based on aggregated trading across multiple contracts. Doherty, a content creator, faces legal charges that traders believe carry significant risk of substantial incarceration. The high probability reflects trader assessment that evidence or charges support a lengthy sentence, though 13% of contracts still price in shorter sentences or lighter outcomes. Key drivers include the specific charges filed, any plea negotiations, and sentencing guidelines applicable to his case. Resolution depends on final judicial sentencing, which determines whether the 5+ year threshold is met. Trading volume remains minimal, suggesting limited market liquidity and potentially wide bid-ask spreads.

  • Specific criminal charges filed against Doherty and their statutory sentencing ranges
  • Status of plea negotiations and any prosecution-defense agreements that might reduce sentencing exposure
  • Prior sentencing patterns by the assigned judge in comparable cases
  • Whether charges include mandatory minimum provisions that would push sentences above 5 years
  • Timing of trial or sentencing hearing, which creates a discrete resolution event

How we compute these odds

SimpleFunctions aggregates live prediction-market contracts from Kalshi and Polymarket. Each slug groups contracts that resolve on the same underlying event, identified by venue event_id.

For binary slugs, the headline probability is the liquidity-weighted mid-price across all bound contracts. For multi-outcome slugs (e.g. elections with 3+ candidates), the headline is the leader’s price; we never arithmetically average disjoint outcomes — that would produce a number with no real-world meaning.

Snapshots refresh every 5 minutes during market hours; daily aggregates are computed at 04:00 UTC. The 30-day sparkline is drawn from per-ticker daily means stored in market_indicator_daily; 24h delta and movement events are derived from the same source.
