About Vivian J. Paige
A former candidate, I've learned a lot about politics, both good and bad. I'd prefer more of the former and a lot less of the latter and I'm trying to do my part!Discussion

His life is destroyed, he’s bankrupt, will be forced to repay the money he was paid by ODU, lost his political position, has been convicted of a serious crime of moral turpitude.
He is ruined, he should still go to jail. His victims are ODU and the Commonwealth of Virginia, to a lesser extent the officials at ODU. He did not destroy some little old lady’s life by defrauding her, he did not hold a gun to somebody’s head.
Twelve years feels like piling on.
Posted by pprados | Thursday, July 28, 2011, 3:12 pmI agree. To much time.
Posted by Charles Pierce | Friday, July 29, 2011, 10:51 amPPrados: I wouldn’t call those ODU officials “victims.” More like “unindicted co-conspirators.” Twelve years does seem like a lot of time. I was actually surprised that he was convicted of extorsion, I think that’s hard to get out of this case. Obviously, he did take a bribe, the other offense he was charged with.
