More madness.\
\
\"Even if you don\'t believe Berben\'s claim of innocence, Maltz imposed a sentence 20 times as long as the one prosecutors were prepared to accept as part of a plea deal and four times as long as the minimum required by law. It is more than three times Florida\'s maximum penalty for rape, armed robbery, or second-degree murder. If Berben had actually molested a child, he could have easily ended up serving less time than he got for having images of that crime on his computer. \"\
