I THINK THEY HAVE ENOUGH CONSEQUENCE (MAYBE EVEN OVER-KILL) FOR MR. LONG. LOOK AROUND YOU. MOST "AVERAGE PEOPLE" WOULD BE ABLE TO MAKE BAIL IN NO TIME. THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO WORK OUT DEALS WITH COOPERATION FOR "BIGGER FISH", AND BE ON THE STREETS FOR YEARS, BEFORE TRIED FOR THEIR OFFENSES. THEY WOULD BE RIGHT BACK OUT ON THE STREETS (PER THEIR LAWYER) IN NO TIME TO CONTINUE THEIR ILLEGAL ACTIVITIES, "GET RID OF WITNESSES", AND/OR SKIP THE COUNTRY. LIKE I SAID ON ANOTHER BLOG, A POLITICIAN IS PUT UNDER A MICROSCOPE, AND WHEN THEY SCREW UP, THEIR CONSEQUENCES ARE MAGNIFIED, BECAUSE THEY ARE THE BIG FISH. HE HAS 10 TIMES THE FINES A CIVILIAN WOULD RECIEVE FOR THIS TYPE OF CRIME. HE WAS IN THE WRONG.... BUT ALSO I THINK HE WILL HAVE LEARNED HIS LESSON AFTER ALL THIS IS SAID AND DONE. THE CONSEQUENCES HE FACES SO FAR IS OUTRAGEOUS FOR ANYONE. (MEANING EXTREMELY HIGH PRICE TO PAY OVERALL)
1.) CARREER OVER
2.) 1/2 MILLION $ IN FINES
3.) MORE JAIL TIME THAN MOST MURDERERS
4.) DISTRUST OF EVERYONE HE ONCE SERVED
5.) IF GOING TO JAIL, MOST INMATES IN TENNESSEE WILL PROBABLY RECOGNISE HIM FROM CASES/ARRESTS HE WAS INVOLVED IN IN THE PAST.

AND THATS WHY I SAY "BLESS HIS HEART"
