Prison Time for Scooter LibbyPresident Cheney and convicted felon Scooter Libby was sentenced thirty months in prison the judge talked about the fact that Scooter Libby had. Exhibited outstanding public and said basically to report that. Scooter Libby was a man who had served his country
Former top aide to Vice President Cheney and convicted felon Scooter Libby was sentenced -- thirty months in prison today. Libby was found guilty in March and charges of perjury obstruction of justice and lying to investigators. Pierre Thomas is outside the courthouse now with the latest Pierre is this a surprise thirty months in prison. I think FBI's most people did not know for certain exactly what the judge would impose. He admitted that he had compelling -- arguments on both sides on the one hand the judge talked about the fact that Scooter Libby had. Exhibited outstanding public service on the other hand he said he was a man who clearly -- a position of privilege which he abused. Crossed a line -- had to be consequences. It was a very riveting two hours in which the prosecutor Patrick FitzGerald -- -- the case that all the judicial system is based on is the truth. And if that is abused at the judicial system will -- then Ted Wells the defense attorney for mr. Libby took the stand and said basically to report that. Scooter Libby was a man who had served his country and serve his country well and that he had suffered public humiliation. And that he had fallen from grace and he deserved leniency a judge ended up giving him thirty months in prison. Meantime here -- a lot of people have always been saying that at sentencing judge wants to hear nothing but remorse. From a the person and however and this case Scooter Libby can't -- too much remorse without jeopardizing his own appeal as -- apologies ago. Hey it's a tricky situation he was andongoing. And we expect that the defense will raise the prospect that Scooter Libby be out on bail if you will during the appeal process the judge indicated however. That he expected Scooter Libby to report. To the court in the next 72 hours. To Begin working with -- probation officials so again unless a judgejudge judge Reggie Walton. Make clear today that the evidence so that Scooter Libby was culpable and that he committed these crimes. Yet they had to quote what he said he said people who occupy these types of positions where they have the welfare and security of nation in their hands have a special obligation. To not do anything that might create a problem it's obviously just surmised that as well. We will leave it here here of course we will come back if there's any sort of an indication that we're going to be hearing from Scooter Libby anytime soon thanks for joining us appreciate it. Thank you. -
