What really really bugs me about this case is <i>how little money he got</i>. I mean, come on. Judges earn a pretty good living, this guy sold his soul and thousands of real people for a bit over a million. Incredible. I can see how some people might be tempted to do something as bad as this for 100's of millions (they obviously still should not do it, it is just as bad in every other way). But a mere million dollars for the lives of thousands of people? That makes a human life worth < $1000 per head to this judge.<p>I have similar feelings about how cheap politicians are to bribe.
