Or, in the judge s words, a loon.
An hour before the sentencing, Brandt recorded a brief clip for his YouTube channel in which he admitted that the video could be his last for a long time. But his remarks to Hoffman were clearly a play for a suspended sentence and probation, as opposed to a stint behind bars. I think it s obviously an important day and an important question, Brandt said. First of all, I drove this plea agreement. I want the court to know that. I think that my attorneys did a great job. I think that they mounted a great defense. I think there are perhaps legally defensible questions associated with these cases, and I think that my need to accept accountability to the fact that words do have meaning was outweighing any of those potential legal remedies I might be able to enjoy. And I would argue that I have shown in the last year and a half that I m capable of toeing the court s line.
