The Pentagon Analyst found guilty on 3 counts of spying was given 12 years. I guess this Judge didn't hear his imperial leader declare we are at war. Now I'm not a death penalty fan but we used to shoot people for spying during a time of war. I don't have any research figures but I can't recall anybody ever getting this light of a sentence for spying.
" U.S. District Judge T.S. Ellis III said he gave Lawrence A. Franklin a sentence on the low end of federal guidelines because it appeared Franklin was trying help the United States, not hurt it.
The judge also agreed to let Franklin remain free while the government continues with the wider case. His prison time could be sharply reduced in return for his help in prosecuting two former members of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee."
