"Through tears, Kamil apologized to victims of the theft ring and his family in court. I blame myself daily, he said, adding that he thinks often of his wife's medical issues and how he can no longer serve as her caretaker. He also said he hoped his children can forgive him. That's eating at me from the inside out, Kamil wrote in a letter to Judge Fernando M. Olguin."
"Kamil's attorney, John Hanusz, argued in a sentencing memo that his client should face a custodial sentence of 40 months. The sentence, Hanusz argued, would be just part of Kamil's punishment, saying he'll likely be deported to Morocco after serving his sentence despite living in the United States for 40 years. Kamil's sentence, his attorney argued, also will keep him from his family, including his wife, who said in a letter to the court that she is dealing with major health issues"
