In a dream world, an appeal would have the judge saying, "Well, Mr...no, sorry, I won't call you Mr., but you there--I have heard your appeal for a reduced sentence based on something/anything you might have done to the good, some little twitch that could make me consider your case anew and I am re- sentencing you to 149 years because I am a man with a sense of humor. Thank you, Bernie for reminding me of this. Peace. Out."
