Some strange, strange post trial musings being thrown around by some small brained peons in this thread.
The fact that he beat racketeering and conspiracy is utterly remarkable, a testament to his legal defence, whatever he paid them was a bargain to say the least.
To fall on just two charges of transportation for prostitution and not the sex trafficking is a huge win for his defence, the Mann act is hard to argue against, irrespective of its archaic, historically prejudiced foundations.
The prosecution successfully depicted a sad, depraved, borderline psychotic degenerate, one who clearly coerced at least three females to live out his pornographic fantasies in real life while he masturbated, in multiple cities, over hundreds of hours. Yeah Cassie is a freak, but they were able to paint the bigger picture, this is a maniac who gets what he wants and doesn't stop for anyone. If you can't recognise that being the telling factor, then you don't understand judicial process.
4 years is a steal, I expected 9, he's going to appeal anyway, most likely he will walk within the next 20 months. A move to Bermuda or Bali to see out the last 30 years, that's a remarkable amount of fortunes.
