Initially charged with crimes that could have brought him up to 65 years in federal prison, former Ohio sheriff’s Maj. Eric Spicer, found guilty in December of illegal possession of a machine gun, will get 5 years probation.
Late of the Greene County Sheriff’s office, Spicer, 45, was charged last April with using falsified documents to illegally obtain a machine gun from a New York firearms dealer. In all, the U.S. Attorney’s office brought seven charges against the former law enforcement officer, of which a jury in U.S. District Court in December agreed that two should stick.

Once again, LEOs DO get extra rights! Had that been Joe Sixpack with the illegal machine gun, you could bet the mortgage on the house and your retirement monies, that TPTB, would have thrown the book at him.

Precisely.
DeleteWell, he is a Major after all. Probably has 4 stars on his uniform and it would make any two Equatorial dictators blush and comment on how tacky it was.
