A judge has lowered the sentencing guideline range for former Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell to about 6 ½ years to 8 years in federal prison for his public corruption convictions.

The U.S. Probation Office had calculated a range of 10 to 12 years, which prosecutors agreed with.

U.S. District Judge James Spencer said Tuesday that an "obstruction of justice" enhancement shouldn't count toward those guidelines, saying McDonnell shouldn't be punished for giving testimony that the jury did not believe.

The enhancement would have been a fine appeal point. McDonnell should not be punished for giving testimony that was not believed....the enhancement should only come into play when it can be demonstrated that the defendant knowingly testified falsely.

Black Folks who do five years for smoking a splif never get their rights back.

Is 2 years + probation anywhere near sentencing guidelines?

found guilty of 11 felonies. He won't even spend 2 months in jail per felony. How is that fair in any way?

I suspect the judge was sympathetic.
