7. Why does this hideous man get so many breaks!?!

If he wins, he'll never see the inside of a cell, EVER. If he loses, and the sentencing isn't delayed AGAIN!, it will be two days before Thanksgiving. Two days before the most difficult holiday to spend with your Republican relatives. Honestly, this judge, I want to shake him. Why are you letting this hideous man off the hook AGAIN!?!

I'd scream if I weren't afraid of scaring the cat and worrying the neighbors.
