A federal appeals court overturned a prison sentence of more than four years given to a local investment consultant on money-laundering charges, saying the judge in the case was improperly involved in plea talks.
"When I came in here on March 2 and fell on my sword, I was pretty much thinking in relation to a case that you had referenced prior to my making my guilty plea of an individual who, I think you said, he took a hundred and some odd thousand dollars and you gave him like a year and a day," Baker said.
Four months later, at his sentencing in July, Baker explained his motivation to the judge.
