Via Wendy, we learn that Jack Abramoff is transitioning from prison to a halfway house in Baltimore.
We don't have a lot to say about this except that the ACR Blog truly believes in the story of sin and redemption. Mr. Abramoff has served and is serving the punishment that our criminal justice system has demanded of him. When an individual has capitulated and accepted responsibility, the ACR Blog does not pile on. Mr. Abramoff has cooperated with the Justice Department and done everything asked of him. Mr. Abramoff still has much to do to atone to his tribal clients, though. We wish him the best as he works through those issues.
Let this be a lesson to others (Fraser Verrusio, Kevin Ring). Sin and redemption. A better story has never been told.

ACR,
You understand that it would be a felony for Ring or Fraser to claim they committed a crime that they heartfeel they didn't commit, just to satisfy the prosecutor's career interests, correct? the result of Ring's first trial makes it abundantly clear that what you and baby Kendall find objectionably, is by no means illegal - at least under settled law. So.., it would be a sin (as you put it) for Ring or Fraser to commit perjury - which in their minds - would be a knowing and deliberate sin.

ACR,
I too and a student of the Good Book. However your reference seems to apply to Welch/Day as much as the people they coerced into pleas. Just a lawyer's opinion...

Indeed it does apply to William Welch and Kendall Day .... as well as myself.
