WASHINGTON (July 9, 2009)--A new study says high court nominee Sonia Sotomayor typically handed out tougher prison sentences than her colleagues in the federal courthouse in Manhattan, especially to white-collar criminals.
The study, released Thursday, says that nearly half the people Sotomayor sentenced for financial fraud and other white-collar crimes received at least 6 months in prison.
Roughly one out of three white-collar convicts received similarly lengthy prison terms from the other trial judges in the Southern District of New York, the study found.
Sotomayor served as a trial judge from 1992 to 1998, when she joined the federal appeals court in New York.
The analysis is from the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse at Syracuse University.

You got that right Billy Bob, she is a typical Dumbocrat Obomite.
That's because her favorite Latinos never commit white collar crimes! We all know she is an anti-White nut!
