I'm stunned at the arrogance or Tuttle and her friends and relatives. In their minds were the bad people for not letting it slide...
just incredible and really says it all...

Federal guidelines are different. Its based on a point system. In her case, it starts base 7, and if over $1 million, adds 16, then probably 2 for involving a charitable organization minus three for acceptance of responsibility. I read that as a minimum of 25 points before she is forgiven the 3. 25 points would give her 57-71 months. There could be other things like victims or means of the crime that could add to the points or others I'm unaware of. If she goes with the 22 points, its 41-51 months.
I don't completely understand it and it was explained to me a couple times.
She likely sought a 5K1.1 departure which could further reduce her sentencing though. That would only mean that she' s cooperating with the feds.
Maybe to bring down someone else they would like to get? Nah, ratting on someone just wouldn't be in her nature.

Well, I know all this hypocrisy is really doing a number on my head.
When I think of her sitting in meetings knowing what she knew and when I see Rhonda Moen get to destroy others for sport and then walk for the same thing and I know all the others know, it does a number on my head and causes me great mental pain and agony and I feel like suing someone over it.

This link is entertaining to read with not a lot of heft to it's content. I hope that justice will prevail in this situation...but then it does have a good chance since the sentencing isn't going to be in Freeborn County. We've all seen too much of the "good old boys" club antics to have much respect for the city and county government. There have been some amusing suggestions in this chain of thoughts...maybe we could suggest a few more....looking back at the past year's history we could suggest all kinds of things. Maybe suggest she be committed to a rest home with a couple of care givers that were in the news not long ago....that would be some kind of punishment....there are just so many ideas....too many to suggest. Maybe give her back her post as a commissioner. That might carry some embarassment with it. Or...oh well, you get the idea. We have no say in what happens, just the opportunity to watch the system do it's job. Guess I've ranted long enough...and I haven't even mentioned drugs or bullets yet...unbelievable!!!!!

Just wondering, will victims be given a voice in fed court before she's sentenced?

I saw Linda's interview on KAAL this morning. She was pathetic!
"She accepts her guilt, is so sorry, and desires the respect she once felt she had. She will try to repay her debts." She was so contrite, "but you know she wasn't thinking right being on those prescription drugs."
I wish she would give it a rest, we all get it! Even though she accepts her guilt, it really wasn't her fault because she wasn't thinking right! Just go to jail, then repay you debts, and we will think about giving you the respect you felt you once had.
I guess the only thing she has left are her dilutions.
Good luck with the rest of your life Linda!

Hate to tell you this, but the victims were already given a chance to write letters to the Court. The Court has them, and will consider them in the sentencing.

But keep in mind stone, she in federal court, not the district court here.
