I never raped or sexually assaulted Jane Doe #1.
I never knew this woman, and the fact is she doesnt know me.
This is about money.
yo dont sentence me to life in prison, the soon-to-be 71-year-old added.
I dont deserve it.
There are so many things wrong with this case.
There is no prison sentence long enough to undo the damage.
I hope that you give him the maximum sentence allowable.
That motion was denied today by Lench.
A hearing is scheduled for March 14 to address that matter, if prosecutors havent made it public beforehand.
