A fifth Kerry-Edwards staffer accused of crippling Republican vans, Justin Howell, turned down the last-minute deal and was acquitted by the jury.Michael Pratt was sentenced to six months in jail, and Sowande Omokunde, Moore's son, got four months in jail. Lavelle Mohammad was sentenced to five months in jail, and Lewis Caldwell received a six-month jail sentence.
Each was fined $1,000. The defendants all had previously paid a collective restitution of $5,320, as part of the plea bargain.
In addition to their several-month jail sentences and monetary restitution, the judge should have sentenced them, upon their release, to wash and wax all cars belonging to the GOP, including dressing the tires.
6 months of huber with work release privileges would not have been my recommendation, but since they plead down to misdemeanors, that is about all we could expect. At least Brennan did give them some time behind bars

They got 4-6 months in the slammer, when they should have gotten 2-4 years in prison for this. Wisconsin justice really sucks big time.

DEMOCRATIC CULTURE OF CORRUPTION IN WASHINGTON
Watch your cornhole boys!
So what were they charged with? Vandalism?
To me there is no justice unless they are convicted on what they really did - prevent people from exercising their voting rights.
They should lose their right to vote permanently, and also be permanently barred from employment with any campaign receiving federal funds.
Seems to me they could still be charged with a federal offense?
Wouldn't that keep their fat young snouts out of the public trough forever?
