People will be attracted to the fine quality...
These erudite and eloquent men claimed that Lasaga should receive a lenient prison term because his prolonged incarceration would deny the world the benefit of his astonishing geological expertise. Fortunately Superior Court Judge Roland D. Fasano was able to look beyond their impressive academic credentials and realize that such arguments are fundamentally antithetical to the principles of the American justice system...
