What people are saying
I am deeply sorry for my actions and for the harm they caused... I ask you to consider giving me a sentence that allows me the possibility of returning to my family while I can still be part of their lives.
I love my children and my family very much, and I hope that one day I may have the opportunity to spend the remaining years of my life with them.
Your Honor, I understand that I must face the consequences of my decisions. I am not asking the Court to ignore what I have done. I ask that, when imposing my sentence, you consider my age, health, family and the life I have led... I respectfully ask the Court for compassion and mercy.
