GIL SHINOHARA GETS 2 YRS AND 8 MONTHS AT CAMP FED TO REFLECT, BUT HEARD HE MAY APPEAL DECISION
Me thinks I'd take the two years and eight months, write a book about Camp Fed.........but heard Mr. Shinohara wants to appeal the decision on the light sentence........go figure!
So, former Governor Carl Gutierrez' COS had his sentencing day in fed court today and I thought got more than a fair sentence.....something like 2 years and 8 months in camp fed and some probation time afterwards.........but heard that he and attorney(remember, I said, I 'heard' that he wants to appeal the decision.......guess he doesn't want to do any time...........they say he's sick and has to have oxygen and stuff in order to sleep...but think that if he did, the feds would make sure he'd have the best medical care.......the sentence is a heck of a lot less than the one given his brother-in-law, Sonny Shelton, got.
Former senator, Willy Flores got eight months in prison and some probation time. If you want more details in what payments they have to pay and what they have to do in community service, you can read it in Mindy Fothergill's article on KUAM's webpage.
For as much money and time that the feds spent on this case, I'm a bit surprised at how light they finally sentenced the defendants. It's not a strong message about what would happen to one if you wanted to defraud a bank....but then we recently sentenced a rapist to time served for raping a minor then gave him a job as a bus driver.....so much for justice, eh?
