Now see. You have a video diary of the defendant saying the following:
“just raping kids is not enough ... Gotta break some bones ... Break a 4-year-old's nose,”
Is this a guy who deserves a downward departure from the Sentencing Guidelines?
IMHO, Nah, not so much.....
10-year term given for child porn
By Guillermo Contreras - Express-News
A former planning analyst at the University of Texas Health Science Center was sentenced Thursday to 10 years in prison for receiving child pornography, while a Pleasanton man pleaded guilty to possessing it.
U.S. District Judge Xavier Rodriguez could have given Patrick Daniel McLean 14 to 171/2 years recommended by sentencing guidelines but chose a sentence closer to what other child-porn defendants have been getting in federal court in San Antonio.
McLean, 49, of San Antonio, was a facilities planning analyst at UTHSC until U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents arrested him in February. Forensic examinations by ICE found McLean had 1,982 images and 473 videos of child porn on his home computer and digital media.
