Phoenix man gets 68 years in Bundy Ranch standoff
Chief U.S. District Judge Gloria Navarro in Las Vegas cut five years off the maximum recommended sentence of 73 years, taking into consideration that Gregory Burleson, 53, has serious health issues and once was an informant for the FBI.
Burleson didn't apologize for going to the Bundy ranch in April 2014 but said he had no intention of assaulting anyone.
A jury found Burleson guilty in April of threatening and assaulting a federal officer, carrying a weapon in a crime of violence, obstruction and traveling across state lines in aid of extortion.
Being an FBI informant was only worth 5 years off his sentence? Wow!
The guy should do time, but 68 years is fucking insane. Rapists and pedophiles don't do that kind of time.
Our justice system is a joke.
