Your wishes came true!  I won AND got done today and will be ready for  
departure tomorrow.  Prosecutor argued strenuously for one of two  
types of murder.  They convicted my client of involuntary  
manslaughter.  Max authorized sentence was 10 years.  They gave him 8.  
 Fair, in my mind.  The whole case was in the verdict though, not the  
sentence.  As I told you, I didn't care if they gave him 10 years.   
Because remember the best the gov't offered was 12 years, but he was  
required to plead guilty to unpremeditated murder (a charge that not  
even Wuterich faces any more).  Wasn't going to happen.  So instead  
they LOSE the trial and get ony 75% of what they thought is was worth.  
 There will no doubt be a 3rd feature article in Stars and Stripes to  
conclude the case.  If not tomorrow, then on Friday.  Perhaps we can  
post all 3 on the website and/or blog?
