Chapter 21 - Daley Sentencing

Major conflicts began resolving.
Eric Daley pleaded guilty to assault and conspiracy-related state offenses arising from the setup.
His lawyer emphasized:
No weapon.
No serious injury.
Cooperation after arrest.
My victim statement stayed short.
“I do not want Mr. Daley punished because I am famous.”
Then:
“I want the court to understand he accepted money to manufacture violence from a stranger.”
Daley looked down.
I continued.
“The worst part was not the slap.”
“It was knowing somebody believed my anger could be bought.”
He received a custodial sentence measured in months plus supervised release.

Not years of fantasy punishment.
Enough.
