The U.S. Navy's Fat Leonard bribery scandal cost taxpayers tens of millions of dollars and resulted in the investigation of hundreds of Navy personnel for corruption.
Leonard Glenn Francis, known as Fat Leonard, conspired to shower Navy officers with bribes and bilk at least $35 million from the federal government.
Prosecutors believe Francis should receive a prison sentence just shy of 12 years, but some perceive this as too lenient a punishment.
Defense attorney Todd Burns criticized the government's recommendation for a light sentence, feeling it rewards those who cooperate, even at the expense of truth.
