The factors of the controlling statutory sentencing statutes and the very recent amendments to the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines all cry out for a non-custodial sentence for this remarkable man who has overcome obstacles that are perhaps even more extraordinary than are the achievements that he has gained throughout the last six decades of his life.
