CNN’s Honig on George Santos 87 Months Sentence: ‘Very, Very High Sentence, Especially for a First Time Nonviolent Offender’

EXCERPT:

HONIG: “Based on Brynn's reporting and based on my own experience in federal courts, a big reason for that is when a defendant has refused to express any remorse, refused to accept responsibility, flouted the court and the public like this, that tends to inflame judges, that tends to drive up sentences. But you are right, Dana, this is a very, very high sentence, especially for a first time nonviolent offender like George Santos is.”
