" I am a family victim of Todd's and I have spoken extensively with the US Attorney's office. Sadly, for what Todd plead guilty to, five years (I understand) is the max! My family will struggle a lot longer than five years to overcome what he has done to us. "

" to amazed1, it seems you always bring up something concerning race in all your comments. You really need to grow up and quit being so racist. "

" No I have never been investigated and I an not a family member or friend of the Phillips or Deer-this goes back years ago and ever time I hear or see a certain name I see red. Also I believe the law should be for EVERYONE. But regardless, we will ALL have to face a higher Judge one day and answer for our sins.....and money will not mean a thing "

" I would usually agree with Dickey on the liberal sentencing, but with the current mortgage crisis in America, I believe justice will be served. If not, we the people have the ability to get the officials out of office that back these guys. "

" I'm wondering if he will be disbarred. An officer of the Court, believe it or not, is indeed held to a higher ethical standard than us regular Joes. He knew better and should lose his license to practice law. "

" I would think that whoever did the appraisals of those properties ought to go to jail. They had to have bogus appraisals to go with their financing package. "

" I agree. But, don't forget......they will likely have to get a GED. That is usually in the line of the punishment they receive. It doesn't matter what form of formal education they already have - just get a GED. Some judges think that fixes all the problems. "

" You know, if these two men do get a sentence like "Dickey" wrote it would be a total failure of our justice system. In fact we still do have a justice system here in Mississippi. "

" This is part of the mortgage crisis that was a big player in the financial demise that we have faced and are in here in the USA. I hope that the judge THROWS THE BOOK at these two men, especially Deer, who was a "trusted" officer of the court. The time they have to serve should be severe enough so that NO other person would take a risk at doing such a horrible thing. "

" Now that they've pleaded guilty, and they are, the sentence will most likely be real tuff ~ 3 months community service, and a $2500 fine. "
