Lea Fastow's motion to reduce sentence is denied
The Chronicle's Mary Flood, who continues to do a fine job of covering the Enron scandal, posted this article today regarding U.S. District Judge David Hittner's denial of Lea Fastow's motion to reduce her one year sentence for misdemeanor tax fraud to the seven months that she has already served. Here are previous posts on the Lea Fastow case.
Along with the the sad case of Jamie Olis and the Martha Stewart case, Mrs. Fastow's case is another example of the egregious lack of prosecutorial discretion that exists in today's "Justice" Department.
