It only took 6 years!!!? Lightening-fast justice ...
6 more years than he deserved.

We need more of this type punishment, house cleaning of the highest order.

I have the same first name as my dad but a different middle name which I use in full on legal documents. Daily usage is resolved by the use of the middle initial. Friends just call me Big Mongo so as not to confuse me with that smaller Mongo in Blazing Saddles.

Too bad in these open and shut cases the wait time for justice isn’t more like six months. Consider the Ft. Hood shooter or the Boston Marathon bomber where there is no question of guilt, but there will be years of tax payer funded appeals on technicalities before justice is done.
