Rosenthal, evidently stung by testimony during his trial that he is a "bully," described himself in his plea before the judge: "I'm not a bully. I'm a defender of the little guy, the underdog."
Actually, Rosenthal testified, the opposite is true, stating that he "got beat up by a "career criminal" in jail a few days ago. "It's my first fight since college."
Rosenthal also stated that during his 9 months of detention awaiting sentencing he has "learned humility, love, respect, God, family, friends and honesty."

Too little, too late.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if this guy was a cheat at body building as well. Sure looks like the classic steroid profile....
ReplyDeleteI agree. I was thinking the same thing.
DeleteJim, unless I am mistaken, federal prisoners--barring a successful appeal or a Presidential pardon--serve almost every day of their sentence, in this case some 7,300 days. As I understand the federal penal process it's possible to get a few months off as the end of one's sentence nears. The world will pass him by, his friends and family will grow old and die and, yet, like the Ancient Mariner, he will live on.
ReplyDeleteBut if he learned so much in 9 months think about how much he will know after 20 years. He will be one of the enlightened.
ReplyDeleteSince he's developed all these wonderful traits in detention, why would he even think of getting out?
ReplyDeletePresidential Pardon...hmmm
