Disgraced lawyer Michael Avenatti had a tearful day in court on Monday as he was sentenced to 30 months in prison for attempting to extort footwear giant Nike to the tune of possibly as much as $25 million.
I'd assumed that, being a lawyer and all, he'd be allowed to simply walk. Apparently, not so. That's good; prison seems like a good thing for him - although he still should have received a longer sentence, it's still better than expected.
