He has not been sentenced yet?

From what I can tell he's been held without bail but his sentencing was postponed.

November 10, 2004 The judge has postponed indefinitely Hale's sentencing, which had been scheduled for November 15, pending the U.S. Supreme Court's decision on U.S. v. Booker and U.S. v. Fanfan, which question whether judges may increase sentences based on aggravating circumstances not presented to the jury (federal prosecutors in the Hale case are seeking such an enhanced sentence). http://crime.allinfoabout.com/old/hale/trial.html

Hale has been found guilty of one count of solictation to murder (and acquitted on a second count), and guilty on all three counts of obstruction of justice. No sentencing date has been set, but he could face 20 years on the solicitation count, and 10 years for each obstruction count. The defense plans to appeal.

"enhanced sentence"

If this idiot was connected to these murders - he's looking at more than an "enhanced sentence" .. he's looking at the gas chamber.
