The Verdict
Pat Swindall ultimately faced conviction of
nine perjury counts. All counts (four of which have since been reversed)
stemmed from the jury’s belief Swindall knew LeChasney lent him his
investors’ money as part of a larger deal with
The Sentencing
The court sentenced LeChasney to his plea-bargained four-year prison term and Swindall to a one-year prison term. Swindall served over eight months in the Atlanta Federal Prison Camp before being transferred to a halfway house. Oddly, LeChasney’s seven co-defendants who pled guilty to actual money laundering charges served no prison time. They received suspended sentences or up to six months in halfway houses. Was Swindall (convicted of minor charges) incarcerated to quell his congressional activities? Probably so. Swindall claims not. He claims his severe sentencing resulted from his demanding justice and charging the judge with faulty, unconstitutional decisions.
Pat thinks Judge Freeman’s decisions were merely mistakes. However, a case could be made that Freeman wanted Swindall found guilty. Although government is notorious for ineptness, a sensible person would have to question the likeliness of three legal professionals simultaneously "goofing up" in such a way as to appear choreographed.
For the reader who finds that a bizarre claim, a visit to: http//www.post-gazette.com/win to review Win At All Costs, a series presented by The Pittsburgh Post Gazette exposing federal prosecutor tactics when targeting foe, will remedy that.
