Add to that though the confounding plea deal. If they had better funding and a more aggressive defense, they could have gotten a better deal and likely negotiated a situation where, notwithstanding the deal, the government wouldn’t be seeking the maximum sentence on what was plead to.

Please understand though Im talking out of my ass because I dont know what happened behind closed doors. Who the hell knows, but if they had unlimited funding that typically leads to better results in my experience.
