Who's apologizing now?
Fake producer-swindler Joseph Medaware AND Assistant US Atty Christine Ewell, who failed to get a tough sentence for this bum. Medaware bilked millions from churches and GOP Congressmen and got off with a light sentence (anything to do with the fact that it was supposed to be about DHS and/or Republican Congressmen were involved? Hmmmmmm?) Ah, only in Hollywood.....
LAT: "Joseph Medawar accepts his sentence," the statement read. "He is extremely remorseful and repentant. He is sorry for the harm that he has caused and he accepts full responsibility for his conduct. He thanks his family and friends for their support. He vows to repay each of the victim-investors. He also vows to continue to help the government in its investigation of others."...
Acknowledging disappointment, Assistant U.S. Atty. Christine Ewell told reporters outside court that authorities would review Real's sentence to see if there are any grounds for appeal. Ewell also was apologetic when questioned by many investors about whether and when they might get reimbursed.
"We're doing our best. We're sorry," she told one woman. "Our goal is to get as much as we can back to you."Real, 82, has been a lightning rod for criticism, with a reputation for a peremptory and even cantankerous temperament on the bench. Most recently, he was the subject of a congressional subcommittee hearing considering possible impeachment over his decision to seize a bankruptcy case from another judge.
