A 37-year-old Louisa County man appeared to be struggling with a loaded shotgun when he lost control of his car during a high-speed chase with a Louisa sheriff’s deputy.

The man, whose identity has not been released, died Saturday night after his car hit an embankment on state Route 619 in Goochland County, rolled several times and ejected him.

The loaded shotgun was found a few yards from his body.

The Free Lance–Star: Rodis gets 63 months in prison

Does anyone else think this is a little excessive? And yes, I know the guy is a waste of skin but prosecutors only wanted 51 months (4.25 years).

Heck; murderers, rapists, and drug dealers get less than 5 years sometimes. And yes, I know there is a difference between federal (as in this case) and state sentencing guidelines but still.

Poor devout family man money-stealing piece of waste.

By the way, how much time did Shelia Boone get sentenced to? She was supposed to be sentenced on February 8th but neither the Richmond Times-Dispatch nor The Free Lance–Star did a story on the sentencing that I can find.
