THE ROBING ROOM

I cannot understand Judge Ronald Buckwalter's decision to disregard the spirit of the minimum mandatory guidelines and create his own standards. Handing down a lenient sentence due to Fumo's good works and his 'exceptional' service while in office is an affront to common sense and decency. How could Judge Buckwalter be so wrong in his decision? The only answer is to appeal the lenient sentence to a higher court, perhaps one that may review the case for it's merits not it's 'good deeds.'
