The real moral of the story is that if you do stupid things, you suffer stupid consequences.

What was the adage from the 70's or 80's? If you can't do the time don't do the crime.

No honor among thieves. One rat ratted out the other rat.

Oren Miller is a very good person as far as I can tell.

Be careful Tal, you’ll get called a hater for saying that.

Absolutely the most brilliant idea I've ever heard of, eliminate the Sunshine Laws. Yeah!!! Let the politicians get behind closed doors and work out all kinds of back room deals that financially/politically benefit them and screw the taxpayers. I've got a news flash, politicians don't do anything behind closed doors that benefits the public. The only politician you can trust is the one you have with your gun to his head.

Good people don't violate the law and lie under oath.

:confused: Are we talking out of all the people you know or just the convicted felons you know? What's the old saying?

"If a man builds a thousand bridges and commits one felony , they don't call him a bridge-builder... they call him a felon." or something like that.

I'm sure he was a very nice person..... not so sure that is how he will be remembered. And that is a shame but something he did to himself. :sad:

He chose to lie. He chose to go to trial. He was found guilty by a jury of his peers. I don't understand the complaint.

This conviction will hardly matter to the people who love and admire Oren Miller. There are many of these.

The complaint is that all sorts of high profile people have done so much more than he did and got away with it, while he is sitting in prison for who knows how long. The scales of justice are not evenly balanced.

Your absolutely correct, that totally stinks. Look no further than Brett Hage for an example.
