Stewart, 67, who was diagnosed with breast cancer last year, smiled, cried and hugged supporters after U.S. District Judge John G. Koeltl announced he was dramatically reducing the 30-year prison sentence called for by federal sentencing guidelines.
The judge said Stewart could remain free pending appeal, a process that could take more than a year.
I thought the reason we had Federal Sentencing Guidelines was to stop judges like this from giving country club sentences to people like Stewart who commited treason?
" The judge said Stewart could remain free pending appeal, a process that could take more than a year."
REMAIN FREE?!?!?!?! REMAIN FREE?!?!?!?!?! For MORE than a YEAR?!?!?!
What an absolute joke. This is the John Kerry method of fighting terrorism.
