Bobby Thompson sentenced
We’ve been following this story since a year ago last May when it was discovered that the man known as Bobby Thompson was using the charity he founded as his personal checking account. Well, it seems that chapter is over and Thompson enters the final chapter of his life with a 28-year sentence and a 6-million-dollar fine, according to a link sent to us by Chip from Fox News;
The judge rejected a request for a new trial. The defense had said comments by jurors after the verdict that they were disappointed he hadn’t testified showed they were biased against him.
The defendant, whose appearance in court Monday was neat in contrast to the final days of his trial, slumped in his chair as the sentence was read. He complained to the judge about alleged abusive treatment by jailers while locked up during the trial.
There was no immediate response from the sheriff’s department. Jailers said earlier that the defendant had acted erratically and had bloodied his forehead smashing it against a holding cell wall.
The judge said the crimes had harmed veterans who were the intended beneficiaries of the donations and also had hurt other charities as donors became skeptical of giving.
“Everyone’s afraid to give,” Gall said.
The prosecutor had asked for 41 years, but given that Thompson is 57 years old, 28 years of prison food and daily ass-rapes ought to do it. His defense attorney asked for a new trial prior to the sentencing on the grounds that his client was a nut. Yeah, he was so nuts that he evaded police for months and no one is really sure what his real name is to this day. Sounds to me like he knew he was doing something wrong.

I wonder how many cigarettes Bubba & Thor will get for each “trick” they make him do after they’ve taken him for a test drive?
This guy loved the US Navy, so it is my recommendation that he get a “Tramp Stamp” US Navy tattoo, so his new friends can see his love while they are pounded his overboard discharge pipe!
One fraudulent turd down, far too many still to go.
Nice to see some justice meted out to a deserving soul from time to time…
I know it sometimes takes a while, but they usually do get caught sooner or later.
Hmmm. Even if he does only half of his time, he’ll be 71 when he gets out. Plus he’s on the hook for $6 million.
Yeah, I can live with that. For his sake, I hope he can.
Wait a minute; if we’re not sure of his real name, then how can we be sure he’s 57 years old? Did someone cut his dick off and count the rings?
Master Chief- On a male, I believe it’s referred to as a ‘welcome mat.’

Did someone cut his dick off and count the rings?”
OK I laughed WAYYYY to hard at that one……

Anybody get a look at his picture in prison orange coveralls? No self-respecting inmate’s gonna touch that scuzzy bugger. The first thing I’d check him for would be LICE.
BOTH KINDS.
This guy is going to one of those white collar prisons, no Bubba, Thor or Rufus looms in his future. He’ll do 7-10 years Max, then get out and do the same crap.
Old Trooper: I don’t think that’s what the term “c**k ring” means, amigo. (smile)
I wonder if he has any regret about what he did, or if he’s only sorry he got caught? I’m betting it’s the latter!
@11: Oops; my bad.
Not so sure about that, Just An Old Dog. I think he was tried on state charges vice Federal. If so, that means he’ll be going to a state prison.
I don’t know for sure, but I don’t think the Ohio state penitentiary system has too many facilities similar to Federal “club Fed” minimum security prisons.
