Sweet Papa Crimbo Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Blagojevich gets 14 years for political corruption and Conrad Murray gets 4 years. Am I missing something? Violating Political ethics is more important than violating Medical ethics?You can directly contribute to the death of an individual and get less punishment than being corrupt? Really?

Guest Jules Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 I don't know about comparing sentence lengths, but he deserves what he got. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lammycat Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Two things I found interesting in the Blagojevitch sentencing:1. He [blago's atty] also points out that the maximum penalty in Illinois for reckless homicide is 14 years. Adam believes the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals will have to take a good look at whether the Blagojevich sentence was justified.2. After the sentencing hearing Wednesday, Rod Blagojevich signed autographs outside his Ravenswood Manor home. Many people speaking with ABC7 said they did not like that and that Blagojevich "still just doesn't get it."http://abclocal.go.com/wls/story?section=news/local&id=8459506 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
IRememberDBoon Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Fucking ridiculous. Jail should be for those that would cause harm otherwise. Not as some "message". 14 months is MORE than enough for a man like him. If he screws up agian after that then he has time over his head. Whoever handed down the sentence knows nothing about jail and has no soul. Barbaric. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
