Cobby33Jeff: Keep in mind you're dealing with someone who spent 2 years at a DA's office in CA- nevertheless, I can respect a good defense attorney's argument.
Personally, I'm not an advocate of the death penalty for anyone, so, that sentence is out. Same goes for castration (though I'm not sure that exists in any jurisdiction these days, but don't quote me on that).
I wasn't as wronged by this guy as a lot of other people were, so perhaps I can't be as objective as others. But for starters, how about life in prison w/o possibility of parole- and not a country club prison. Yes, prison is prison, but we all know some Federal institutions are rather comfortable, comparatively. As for his ill-gotten gains, I find it hard to believe his family is not still profiting from his criminal mastermind.
When you play with that many people's lives and livelihoods, you should pay the price. "Don't do the crime if you can't do the time..." How about that acquittal?
