I am shocked and flabbergasted at the severe price this man has to pay. I sure hope he’s learned his lesson and I hope the trial and appeals judges spend their booty wisely.

it’s a sad day when a modicum of true justice would have to be metted out by the people, because the system won’t punish the monied even if every dollar was stolen from seniors retirement accounts.
As a aside to Buddha, there is one smaller variety of cockroach that is practically immune to all forms of poison. Only disposing of all belonging can rid you of them personally. For a buildin, the remedy is fire.

A person looking for a little ad hoc justice would find and relocate several termite colonies, maybe a liberal application of inner city roaches of the New Orleans variety – you know the type that can carry off small children. The kind that laugh at pesticide and when you stomp them it just pisses them off. Wharf rats make a lovely house warming gift too.

Not to give anyone ideas.

You know I have heard about people getting these type of plush treatments in sentences. Specifically a Florida or Utah medical professional was sentenced to house arrest. The sentencing guideline would have been about 18 months because of no prior history with the law or judicial system.

He screwed up and was sentenced to 5 years. The underlying charge, get this was Solicitation of Murder. Apparently he was trying to gain an upper hand in a divorce settlement.

Go Figure. Maybe he will make it maybe he won’t.

I would love to be confined to a place like that right now and I haven’t violated any laws! I disagree with the majority opinion because this criminal does not have to pay any price for his activities. If I live in a condo in a lesser neighborhood, and I do the same crime, do I get to live in my condo? The answer is probably not. This guy tried to bilk the taxpayers and he gets to stay home. His home should have bars on the windows and razor wire around the property and some “friendly” roommates.
