You guys have to understand how outside the norm his sentence was. He had an open plea which means his attorneys probably spoke to the people at US Probation who did his PSI and had a good feeling it would come back inside the guidelines or under. He’s old as hell. Do you guys realize how many judges ever go ABOVE the guidelines? Some of them go hundreds of cases if not more without doing that. It’s a lot rarer than you could imagine, almost unheard of when pleading guilty. Lose at trial and of course they hammer you(which is unconstitutional BTW) There is nowhere in the sentencing guidelines that says you get a stiffer punishment for going to trial. This judge is piece of shit.
