I don't see where anyone is saying that he should get a free pass. I, and I think the other posters, feel that he is being over charged.
I absolutely agree that he should no longer be a police officer. I don't agree with his actions, but at the same time, I don't think his actions broke any laws. Tradition, codes of conduct, and even common decency? Sure and probably more. But not laws.
It does seem that the perjury charge is legitimate but I would want to see all of the evidence. The perjury charge is either a Class 2 or Class 3 felony which will take away his pension and most likely any retirement benefits.
He is going to have the snot sued out of him so any quality of life after he gets out of prison will be approximately zero. As I opined before, I would not be surprised if he ends up commuting suicide.
He may end up wishing he could be put in prison for the rest of his life.
He is not getting any free pass. His life will be hell.
about 60 years old
Felony record
No retirement
Savings gone in the lawsuits
Does not even get to live off of the tax payers while in prison
No one is going to hire him. If he does not have family, he will end up in a shelter. A free pass this ain't.
I am not exactly shedding tears over him either.
