Now, Ms. Perry is going to argue why 108 months is too much. She is saying he wanted to be the David fighting Goliath. She is saying he is a good father and friend to many. (daughters letters to be sealed) Ms. Perry is suggesting anyone who supports him gets attacked. this

is the basis why they didn't see a lot of letters. She is basically saying he is a kind man who is generous. She is citing his ex wife's letter. she is quoting his daughters letters. (using kids is always risky, many judges don't like it) Perry is trying to distance the

him from the recordings. This is odd as there is an appeal so is he going to admit guilt? he never testified. how is going to allocate? a lot of match playing here for sure. she is now claiming MA is humble. She is also saying he has remorse. She is now addressing deterrence.

she is referencing deterrence. she says he lost his license so he can't hurt anyone again. She says the facts are unusual in this case. she is addressing the charging decision issue. she says its impossible to discern MA's conduct and Mark Geragos who was NOT CHARGED.

Geragos wasn't representing Franklin for starters. She is now complaining he didn't get charged. She is arguing the charges are ambiguous. This is not a clear cut violent extortion case. This doesn't come close to a guideline sentence. She is arguing because Geragos was not..

charged, there is a need to avoid sentencing disparity. She is now citing other crooked attorneys who plead to extortion but got lighter sentences. The judge cuts her off and said one of the attorneys got a 5K. the judge said they offered the other attorney a plea which

had a statutory maximum. The judge is focusing on those cases that the defendant's plead out and accepted responsibility. In this case, Avenatti went to trial. She can't compare a plea deal versus a trial verdict. the judge is very smart, nothing will get past him. this..

argument is not moving the judge and she should move on. She is requesting a downward variance for MCC conditions as MA was in solitary in 10S. She wants a variance for that. I will release this thread now and wait for the judges comments on this issue.
