“Then, I see that you’re an intelligent man. I mean, it’s hard to understand how somebody who just sat here and spoke the way you spoke can do the things that you did. It’s almost beyond comprehension. I don’t see guys with your intelligence in the position that you’re in. To me that is part of why this is senselessness.”
–Circuit Judge Dennis Craig, sentencing Vitaly Tsabak to 20 years in prison for arson and burglary on May 24
