Yes, I understand the point you are making, and I think it is a valid one; on the other hand, this uy Jack A. seemed to want to publicly express A LOT of remorse today to the judge,m so clearly, there was criminal intent on his part in this matter. Because otherwise, you wouldn't have this speech from him about the Almighty, how sorry he is, etc. etc. in an effort to cut down his jail time.
I am starting to wonder about the details of his plea agreement.
