"My intent was always to uphold the values of integrity and responsibility, so I regret any actions or decisions that may have brought us to this moment of judgment," Liu said.
"I am not here to deflect responsibility, but to seek mercy," he said during his sentencing hearing, recognizing the impact of his actions on his family.
U.S. District Judge R. Gary Klausner noted, 'These are choices you make, not that the court makes,' emphasizing the responsibility of the defendant over his family situation.
Although U.S. authorities sought a five-year term, Judge Klausner reduced Liu's sentence to 41 months, considering the challenges faced by his family.
