Maybe he should not have stolen a few hundred million dollars?

He was also forced to forfeit his big house and most of his fortune.   His wife is left with 50K and a modest home.

I honestly didn't think Justice worked like that anymore.   to the judge.   Nice to see at least one of them gets what's coming to them.

Our sentencing guidelines are hosed.  If he'd just killed someone he could be out in 7 years.

"Our sentencing guidelines are hosed...."

 You bet it is.  IMO it was a travesty he wasn't dragged right off to prison the moment the sentence was handed down.  

 It was bad enough he was found guilty back in March and they said come back in a few months for sentencing.   Now he is told to go home, enjoy the summer and we'll see you in the fall?

That's pretty standard for non violent crimes.

It wasn't my point, though, but you knew that and chose to ignore it.

That's right. Cause your point is another discussion altogether. But you knew that.
There is no need to try and hijack this one.

This is a discussion?  He made a statement.

But you knew that.  I don't blame you for avioding having to admit the obvious when it shows the liberal beliefe system to be flawed.

I'm not avoiding anything at all other than your usual attempt to turn the discussion towards another subject.  Then again. You know that and choose to ignore it.


 (and it truly would have been a suckers bet to see when you would toss the word "liberal" into the discussion)

Nice spin.  I'll allow you to salvage your pride and avoid the discussion.  You seem to have a hard time doing that from your repeated replies to a discussion you claim to be avoiding.

The fact remains, a system that puts a thief behind bars for 25 years and a murderer can be out in 7 is flawed.
