Kudos to Judge Durkin
From the article:
[COLOR="Blue"]Rogers is expected to admit wrongdoing at his sentencing hearing today. His attorney also has cited a drug problem and bipolar disorder in explaining Rogers' past actions.
U.S. District Judge Thomas Durkin said he usually doesn't see the need for additional deterrence in a case like this where a nonviolent, first-time offender stands before him who had reached a plea agreement and cooperated with the government.
"I see it here," Durkin said, pointing out that Rogers committed his crime over years, violated his plea agreement and engaged in even more fraud. "Society needs to be protected from you."
The judge also noted, "I don't believe the crimes were based on addiction or mental condition. There was no other reason but greed."[/COLOR]
