But madoff didn't steal from mom and pop people. He stole from rich retirees living high on the hog in palm beach. How is that any different. Madoff abused his position of trust; so did Rothstein. What is worse is Rothstein FORGED A JUDGE'S NAME - TWICE!! Rumpole minimizes it. Unbelievable. And finally, even if you make valid points here and there, I trust Judge Cohn a billion times more than I do at arriving at a "just sentence" than I do with pussy Rumpole anyday. You look at the world through skewed glasses, which is certainly your right. But as between the two men, my money is on Cohn to have a fairer view of the world.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-80122888555724257002010-06-13T16:09:53.360-04:002010-06-13T16:09:53.360-04:00In theory, I agree with you, Rump.

The US ALREADY has more of its citizens in prison than any other nation- China, Iran, North Korea included. <br /><br />So really you want everyone convicted of almost anything to be imprisoned forever. <br /><br />Real nice.

His "cooperation", as helpful as it may be, was only a ploy on his part to save his ass; he was looking at life in prison if he didn't cooperate and had nothing to lose. As for his returning voluntarily, he would have been hustled out of Morocco one way or another, or whacked by one of his Mob buddies.<br /><br />If you think there are not multiple ways around formal extradition treaties, you're crazy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-11167232538264918092010-06-11T13:51:58.843-04:002010-06-11T13:51:58.843-04:00The Federal system is all screwed up because "...The Federal system is all screwed up because "cooperation" takes precedence over justice.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-80794690125886395912010-06-11T12:58:27.607-04:002010-06-11T12:58:27.607-04:00I once again agree with Rumpole 100%...btw Rumpole...I once again agree with Rumpole 100%...btw Rumpole, your original post says that 25 years is a "quarter of a decade."

I don't see any of my clients walking out of court and telling me the judge is corrupt because of the court broom scandal 20 years ago. <br /><br />Most of us recognize that in humanity there is going to be a certain percentage of bad apples- be they cops, lawyers, doctors, accountants, what have you. People need to be punished for their crimes and not this psycho babble about how they tarnished the profession. Its just a nonsensical justification for an excessive sentence.Rumpolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08380575650255695462noreply@blogger.com
