It's an honor to be mentioned in the same sentence with those other four guys.

Shashi Nathan

This was the appropriate sentence. This guy kidnapped two children. He lured two small girls away. It's every parent's nightmare that their kids go out to play and never come back. That's what happened here. I think Judge Doyle did the community a great service today by imposing the sentence he did. If not, this guy would get out and he would re-offend.

Michael Combs

We had obviously hoped the judge would accept our agreement with the government. Dr. Fisk is disappointed the judge didn't adopt that recommendation. On the other hand, he appreciates the fact that the court said a sentence within the guideline range was inappropriate.

In a way, by voting for the pay raise, he may very well have signed his own death sentence.

Joshua Dratel

It's not like Big Brother; it's a sentence that's trying to do the right thing, the appropriate thing to guarantee the community's safety, ...
