Any of you calling for a lighter sentence and saying that he should not go to prison, do you realize that he also plead guilty to intimidating AA students and faculty earlier this year? In and of itself, the punishment did NOT fit the crime, however, when you look at this guy's track record he got what he deserved..

yes, he plead guilty earlier this year to the same crime he was sentenced to yesterday. The crime came with a max 11 year sentence and $100,000 fine. He was being prosecuted in federal court. He was clearly strong armed to take a plea and had an incompetent attorney.

Are there any other details on this? I find it weird that this isn't highlighted in more detail, if it is indeed true. I think those details would be highly pertinent to the case in question.

eta: nevermind, thanks for the explanation lsufball19.
