1. Whoa!!! May this send a chilling effect out to Bush, Cheney and friends!

[MadMaddie]

2. So that comes to 8.3 years...

I will take what we can get!!

[SoCalDem]

3. That sounds fair to me.. But I want his property seized

and sold.. His wifey can go "GET A JOB"..

[rodeodance]

12. didn't his wife leave him a bit ago?

[CatWoman]

4. old bastard

he needs to rot in jail.

[revree]

5. For a while there, I thought the judge was going to let him off way easy

This is good. 100 months - he deserves more, but this is good. Then supervised release. How humiliating.

[SteppingRazor]

6. Better than I expected...

the max would have been ten years, and this is pretty close to that.

8. What does this actually mean, in real time?

Is he gonna have to serve several years, or, because he wept, is he out on the streets in 9 months?

[AlCzervik]

11. thats what we have to wait for.

[Blue_In_AK]

31. If this is a federal charge (which I would assume)

I don't think there's any good time and no parole, not like in state court. The feds have different sentencing guidelines.

9. Yay...Yay! Put them away!

:bounce:

[Initech]

10. Cool - he's spending 8 years in prison!

Although sadly with his high-priced lawyers he may get that boiled down to just house arrest. :eyes:

[napi21]

13. 8 1/2 years. Hmmm, wonder if he'll ever leave alive?

He's pretty old, isn't he? Prison life isn't easy, especially for an old guy.

Of course he deserves every minute of that sentence, but I wonder if he ever thought a day like this would ever happen to him? Bet not!

[converted_democrat]

22. Plus, I believe he's dealing with prostate cancer.. n/t

[PsN2Wind]

29. Well there is "prison life" and then there is

prison life. Wait and see where he goes. He isn't going to be on a rock pile somewhere swinging a sledge but will more likely be in "Club Fed".

[Coexist]

14. 1.8 million dollars in back taxes owed, too.

Ouch.

[Swamp Rat]

15. I hope all of his property is siezed too.

A lot of poor folks could use it, like Louisiana fishermen who need new fishing boats.

[CrazyOrangeCat]

18. yes.

[tularetom]

16. Did he blubber again?

Did he say he was gonna dedicate his life to Jeebus? Inquiring minds want to know.

[AlCzervik]

19. i hope so, i hope they caught it on tape.

[CrazyOrangeCat]

20. jeebus will bake him a cherry pie . . .

. . .with a file inside.

[Renew Deal]

17. 100 Months?

Is that some sort of spin? Thats 8+ years.

[edbermac]

25. What did Richie do, Mr C.? Stay out past curfew?

Aaaaaaayyyyyyy...

[DearAbby]

26. Here....let's see if I can squeeze out a tear for him

:::squints eyes real hard::::

:::working:::

Ah hell, I tried.

Justice! Karma! Whatever, it is fine..It is a good day.

[Greeby]

27. Lets hope for a scene reminicent of the Shawshank Redemption

"Freah fish! Fresh fish! Fresh fish! Fresh fish! Fresh fish!" :evilgrin:

[Catherine Vincent]

28. So sad, the poor thing.

His wife already left town.

[im10ashus]

30. GOOD!!!

Hopefully they will put a lien on his property to cover the restitution.

[PsN2Wind]

32. So the bribee got a hundred months

what did the briber get? Probably another military contract.

[many a good man]

33. And the "Cell phone Bandit" gets 12 years

20 years old, 4 bank robberies, $48,000. Her boyfriend, the getaway car driver, also got 12 years. At least they're not ordered to pay restitution like Duke.
