Well, guilty or not guilty remains to be seen. But you can't just say "minimal at best" because this is a Federal case and there are Federal sentencing guidelines in place.

If a guilty verdict comes in, the judge has to follow those guidelines. Even if convicted of the lesser charges, I can't see anyone walking free in less than five years because they all have prior felonies and the Judge has no choice but to take that into consideration. It's written into those guidelines.

And five years is not "minimal" for Ligambi at 72 years old.
