It does sound pretty close to 12 years. That surprises me.
I have said that I think roughly eight years should be about right for this sort of thing.
What he did was definitely government corruption. I haven’t read all the charges, so perhaps I’m not addressing a certain reality that causes others to think 12-14 is more like it.
It was eighteen felony counts. I’m not sure what is benefited by 12 vs 8 years. The message an eight year sentence sends, is as clear as the 12 year message.
Participating in government corruption, a really stupid idea.
BTW: Thanks for the information on the time off for good behavior. I appreciate it.
