And don't forget, Dan Burton is the man who introduced legislation to allow the death penalty for drug dealers. If his son had been convicted, the mandatory minimum for his crimes was 8 years in Federal Prison. I suggest that Burton would have changed his tune back then if his son hadn't gotten off light (I mean come on, the Feds refused to prosecute, and the locals wanted the charges dropped? Puh-leeze).

Neither made these decisions on their own. Pressure came down from above telling them to either do this,or have their own careers ended.
