He did the crime, now he has to do the time. Entitlement of some people is unreal! Why does he think he's better than other criminals and doesn't need to be in jail
Response: Is this the same guy that did not think twice of destroying peoples careers while grabbing millions? He's still alive?
His lawyers have asked for a “substantial term of home confinement” and community service, according to court filings.
Looks like he has already won. By the time he has to pay the piper he will have died of old age.
Politicians and people are treated so differently in the courts of not so blind justice...
Sentencing isn't until July 20th; watch even if Sheldon Silver does get time in slammer he is allowed to slow walk turning himself over to federal authorities.
Did I mention this guy is still likely getting is state and perhaps city pension?
White collar crime is where its at. Walk around freely while living out your life waiting to be sentenced must be real good when others are dragged off to jail and denied bond.
