There was a similar story of a high-paid broker out west recently (Cali maybe?).
Same basic argument: "I can't go to jail, I have to make money to pay them."

I heard a guy, who was acting as a fence for stolen computer equipment, make a similar claim to a judge. It was the 3rd or 4th time that I'd been to court as a witness, in the case, and the 5th or 6th hearing. He'd gone through 5 lawyers, as a delaying tactic. He said that a conviction would remove his ability to travel to the US, on purchasing trips, and asked that the conviction be set aside. He claimed that it would impact his family, who had done nothing wrong. The judge (who I praise to this day) simply said, "You should have thought about the ramifications of your actions, before you took them. Two years."

the rich get away with it because they know the average person values money, more then their lost relative's life. cruel statement yes, but it's true. proven by this action. if they did not take the deal he probably would have tied up the case in legal red tape for years. this way they get their money, really that's what they want, the lawyers tell them that. |
