Former Rep. George Santos faces sentencing for fraud, with prosecutors seeking over seven years in prison. Santos's social media posts show he feels persecuted, but his lawyers argue this reflects distress rather than a lack of remorse. They contend his online outbursts do not negate his acceptance of responsibility. The prosecution counters that his posts reveal a lack of genuine remorse and a desire for public approval. Santos has requested leniency, aiming for the mandatory minimum two-year prison sentence amid his ongoing legal struggles.
Santos' recent online statements, while reflecting his distress regarding the potential length of his sentence, do not undermine his acceptance of responsibility for his crimes.
No matter how hard the DOJ comes for me, they are mad because they will NEVER break my spirit.
The DOJ gets to step on my neck in T-20 days!
The posts showed Santos wasn't sorry for the crimes he admitted to committing and displayed his belligerence and an insatiable appetite for 'likes.'
