What Sentence Should Ivan Boesky Get? --- Opinions Vary, But Most Suggest Some Time in Jail --- A Wall Street Journal News Roundup
-The Wall Street Journal, December 16, 1987
Well, everybody should find out Friday. After several delays, that's when a federal judge is expected to sentence Mr. Boesky. Only one thing is certain: Mr. Boesky's severest critics won't be satisfied because he faces a maximum sentence of five years, with parole possible after serving one-third of his sentence.
Mr. Chiarella believes Mr. Boesky will actually get two years. "I think the public and Wall Street would be in an uproar if he didn't get anything," Mr. Chiarella says. "It would show people that crime pays. They say crime doesn't pay, but crime pays."
F. Lee Bailey, a criminal defense attorney, says that "it's awfully hard to say (what Mr. Boesky should get) without knowing the extent of his cooperation with the government, which is what he's leaning on. I'm not a fan of people who rape the system and then get nothing but a slap on the wrist because they squeal. If I were sentencing Mr. Boesky, I'd see to it that he gets a little time away."
