GEORGE SANTOS EVENTUALLY CHOSE TO PLEAD GUILTY.
But,

• IS HE CAPABLE OF ACCEPTING RESPONSIBILITY?
• AND IS HE CAPABLE OF EXPRESSING REMORSE FOR THE VICTIMS HE'S HARMED?
• LET'S HOPE SO.

Former Rep. George Santos eventually pleaded guilty to wire fraud and aggravated identity theft.

Possible conflict?

Rolling Stone: “My sins here are embellishing my resume. I’m sorry,“ Really? This conflicts with accepting responsibility and his superseding indictment.

“A short time ago, after years of telling lies, former Congressman George Santos stood in the courthouse behind me and finally, under oath, told the truth. And that truth is that he is a criminal,” U.S. Attorney Breon Peace said. “Santos pled guilty to serious crimes involving fraud and identity theft. He also admitted to committing all other crimes he was charged with in the superseding indictment. As a result, he will finally be held to account for his actions.”

U.S. Attorney Breon Peace stated that the plea deal could result in a sentence ranging from 6 to 8 years. He is scheduled for sentencing on Feb. 7 at the New Your Federal Court in Central Islip.

HIS FUTURE.

First, A well-written Personal Narrative is the one thing he can do to help the Judge understand who he is, as they know crimes don’t happen in a vacuum. But this requires Mr. Santos to be honest with himself, or an attorney hiring someone to do this (but Mr. Santos must be willing), or a family member who sees him for who he is and believes they can help him change – and he wants to. Otherwise, all judges have great BS detectors; this is a line you don’t want to cross.

A complete medical and mental healthcare evaluation could reasonably explain but not excuse his past actions for his defense.

6-Year Sentence: (equals 72 Months)GTC: 52 ( days off per year good time credit) x 6 (years) = (approximately) 312 days off his sentence[ The Caveat: He Does Not Get In Trouble: Can He Be Trusted To Stay Out Of Trouble?]

ETC ~ 1 Year OFF Sentence For 2 Years of FSA ETC [The Caveat: Can He Be Trusted To Stay Out Of Trouble? If Not-Possibly No ETC]

RDAP? Eligible, we don’t know.

His Judge.

To date, his actions conflict with what most judges already know and now want to hear.

His counsel is paid to lessen his sentence.

The DOJ wants a conviction, and to that end, has told Mr. Santos's Story in the form of their Indictment.

The Prosecutor wants prison time to protect society:

1. Retribution. This pillar seeks to punishment
2. Deterrence. Discourage an offender from committing crimes again.
3. Incapacitation. Prison
4. Rehabilitation.

Has George Santos been able to share a well-written, heartfelt narrative with the court, where he expresses genuine remorse for the number of victims he has harmed, with a plan to make amends that demonstrates his accepting responsibility?

Only time will tell.
