\"Dinesh<\/a><\/span>United States of America vs Dinesh D’Souza, USDC, Southern District of New York, No. 14-cr-00034:<\/span><\/p>\n

United States District Judge Richard Berman has today sentenced\u00a0Dinesh D’Souza to serve eight (8) months at a\u00a0community confinement\u00a0center.\u00a0<\/span>In other words, a halfway house.<\/span><\/p>\n

These facilities are typically for offenders who are coming out of prison or offenders who are given a last chance before, and in lieu of, being sent to prison.<\/span><\/p>\n

Judge Berman also ordered the following:<\/span><\/p>\n

1<\/strong>. \u00a0one day of community service a week<\/span><\/p>\n

2<\/strong>. \u00a0pay a $30,000 fine<\/span><\/p>\n

3<\/strong>. \u00a0weekly therapy<\/span><\/p>\n

Last month D’Souza admitted to illegally giving $20,000 to two of his friends (and both of their spouses) as reimbursements for their donations to Wendy Long’s\u00a0U.S. Senate (R- NY) campaign in 2012. \u00a0Regulations at the time limited individual donations to a maximum of $5,000. \u00a0<\/span>One of the friends was\u00a0Denise Joseph.<\/span><\/p>\n

Wendy Long’s 2012 campaign was unsuccessful.<\/span><\/p>\n

D’Souza and Long have known each other since their days at Dartmouth College in the early 1980s.<\/span><\/p>\n

During sentencing prosecutors in the case stated that D’Souza has been seen on television and the internet, after his guilty plea, stating that he was\u00a0“selectively” targeted for prosecution and that he had no choice but to plead guilty.<\/span><\/p>\n

This is a big no-no in federal court because you are required to take responsibility for anything that you plead guilty to. \u00a0 It should be noted that pleading guilty in a federal court is nothing like pleading guilty in a state court. \u00a0 In the federal system one must be ‘debriefed’ and admit to all crimes that one has ever committed and also provide information that one has on all crimes that others, including friends and family, have committed during one’s lifetime.<\/span><\/p>\n

Those debriefings are then used to prosecute, or apply pressure to, other individuals. Sometimes years down the road.<\/span><\/p>\n

In any event, the Judge (Berman) wasn’t real pleased with D’Souza exercising, post-guilty plea, his free speech online, and on television, regarding the criminal case.<\/span><\/p>\n

At sentencing Berman said,<\/span> I’m not sure, Mr. D’Souza, that you get it…<\/span><\/em>\u00a0And it is still hard for me to discern any personal acceptance of responsibility in this case.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n
