In letters to the judge that described Koosman as an honest, reliable, naive farm boy.....

So the naive farm boy excuse didn't work this time? How come I find it hard to believe the judge didn't buy that tractor load of cow manure.

That sucks - there are some Politicians currently in Washington who didn't pay their taxes and only while they were being vetted, did they pay up. So what was their penalty?

Very "American" of Jerry. Seems to be the norm. If you've lived here long enough, you find a way to cheat.

Only this idiot wasn't smart enough to do it right.

Personally, 6 months at his age is brutal, but apparently deserved.

I think they should tack on another 3 months just because he played for the Mets.
