True, when you’re on trial for having used your position as chair of a university’s board of trustees to steal large sums of money, getting the word out on what a great guy you are is going to be difficult.
I think I’m paraphrasing Jonathan Pinson’s defense attorney correctly…
He’s off to prison for five years; but South Carolina State University, one of America’s most pointless and corrupt dropout factories, keeps grinding on.

Odd that the article didn’t mention that the prosecution could also appeal the sentence as it was below the guidelines. The defendant may appeal the conviction but the sentence, as it is already below the guidelines is not subject to appeal in any realistic way.
