We’ve been following this story since a year ago last May<\/a> when it was discovered that the man known as Bobby Thompson was using the charity he founded as his personal checking account. Well, it seems that chapter is over and Thompson enters the final chapter of his life with a 28-year sentence and a 6-million-dollar fine, according to a link sent to us by Chip from Fox News<\/a>;<\/p>\n

The judge rejected a request for a new trial. The defense had said comments by jurors after the verdict that they were disappointed he hadn’t testified showed they were biased against him.<\/p>\n

The defendant, whose appearance in court Monday was neat in contrast to the final days of his trial, slumped in his chair as the sentence was read. He complained to the judge about alleged abusive treatment by jailers while locked up during the trial.<\/p>\n

There was no immediate response from the sheriff’s department. Jailers said earlier that the defendant had acted erratically and had bloodied his forehead smashing it against a holding cell wall.<\/p>\n

The judge said the crimes had harmed veterans who were the intended beneficiaries of the donations and also had hurt other charities as donors became skeptical of giving.<\/p>\n

“Everyone’s afraid to give,” Gall said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The prosecutor had asked for 41 years, but given that Thompson is 57 years old, 28 years of prison food and daily ass-rapes ought to do it. His defense attorney asked for a new trial prior to the sentencing on the grounds that his client was a nut. Yeah, he was so nuts that he evaded police for months and no one is really sure what his real name is to this day. Sounds to me like he knew he was doing something wrong.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
