Not All White-Collar Crime Sentences Are the Same Length ("'What that has resulted in is a lot of inconsistency depending on which judge happens to sentence you,' says Barry Pollack, a defense attorney based in Washington, D.C. 'If you have a judge who follows the guidelines-even though they are advisory-you are going to get an extraordinarily high sentence. Whereas, if you get a judge who thinks that the guidelines are too harsh, that judge might choose not to follow the guidelines.' The result? 'You have two people that commit two very similar crimes but then get wildly different sentences,' Pollack says.")
