So what? There are many examples of utterly corrupt judges, not just on the federal bench.
Just within the last year or 1 a Pennsylvania judge was sentenced for having grossly miscarried justice dozens of times regarding juveniles.
The judge accepted the plea? Duh, it's a rare judge that does not accept a plea. FYI I am aware of a federal case from years ago where a conscientious judge rejected a plea, ordered the prosecutors to get honest, and they did. That is a rare case IMO.
The bulk of the evidence was contrived, and remained hidden for long years until Peppers found it through hard work.
Read the book Mike, and if you prefer not to, just "man-up" and say so. I don't care either way.
