Shane Sperow again

Since everyone seems to have missed that I wrote about Shane Sperow the other day. He was the guy who lied to a judge in Pennsylvania about his military experience in order to get a shorter sentence in his fraud conviction. You’ve filled my inbox up with tips about him, here he is again.

The Washington Post‘s Sarah Larimer wrote the best article about him, mostly because she quoted us there;

Sperow’s case was covered earlier this year on the military blog “This Ain’t Hell,” which praised the district attorney’s office for its work.

“I commend the prosecutors for their diligence in the Sperow case,” blog post on the site read, “it’s not often we see that kind of commitment.”

[…]

“It’s unbelievable what this defendant lied about and unbelievable that he falsified a military record and tried to use that to his advantage,” [District Attorney John] Adams said.

Prutzman, the assistant district attorney, noted that in this case, the outrage stretched beyond just issues of falsifying military service, pointing out that Sperow also duped the legal system.

“I’m happy that we were able to find this fraudulent behavior,” he said. “Because like I said, it really does go to the integrity of the system itself, people try to pull fast one like this and falsify information, much less disgrace veterans in the process of doing so.”

So, can you stop sending links about Sperow now? You’re starting to make me believe that you’re not reading.
