ICv2.com Catches Both Sides Of Handley Possibly Working On Sentencing

The comics business news and analysis site ICv2.com has caught word that a delay in a sentencing report from United States Probation may have delayed until February 11 the final sentence of Christopher Handley, who pleaded guilty to one count each of Possession of Obscene Visual Representations of the Sexual Abuse of Children, and of Mailing Obscene Matter, in a case connected to his ownership of manga. Actually, let me rephrase that since I can't write today: the sentencing is delayed; perhaps for that reason. The CBLDF acted as special consultant to Handley's legal team until they decided to plead guilty. You should read their story: to be honest, I'm just parroting their points instead of coming up with any of my own. It's pretty straight-forward at this point, and kind of ruthlessly awful. A joint sentencing recommendation of even the lightest kind to which a judge then paid attention would be the best outcome, but still a crappy one.
