I know some people are chortling with glee over this, but I just find the whole thing very sad. Here was a person who had pursued education far from his Kalapana roots without forgetting where he came from, someone who could have been held up as a role model for local kids, only to be undone by personal weakness and petty pilfering of public funds. Billy will probably lose his law license, either as part of his sentence, or as part of a plea bargain, his wife and family have to live with the shame in a small community, and a once promising political career is over. No way he is going to hold public office again, and who would ever hire him now?
