This is the proverbial "moment of truth." He lied to divide and profit. Then he lied about the lie. Then he lied about his fellow conspirators. Then he looked his own jury in the eye and strait-face lied to their faces under oath. If I were the judge I would give him one more opportunity to speak at his sentencing hearing. If he decided to double, triple and quadruple down on his silly charade I would give him the maximum. But an apology would garner as much mercy as I could muster.
