Jacqui and Ebbie ... I see your points ... and I agree Madoff was calculating in what he did, and yes he did lose, and deserved to lose, and yes deserved to go to prison. I also agree many people have suffered because of their trust in him.

Again ... using Spector as a comparison .... his act of murder wasn't in the heat of the moment ... he had an evil mind and was a loaded gun for some time. His declaration of his own innocence is disturbing in itself. This can be found in many murder cases as of late.


Both men should not see the light of freedom for their remaining days. I just find 150 years for Madoff's crime as opposed to 19 years for Spector says something of where our values lay.
