Power Of Prayer Spares Man Even Tougher Jail Term

Former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay on his recent conviction and sentencing to three years in prison on conspiracy charges: “’We prayed like crazy that we wouldn’t get more than 10 years,’ DeLay said, noting that Texas law requires defendants sentenced to 10 years or more to pursue their appeals from prison. ‘We got less than 10, so that was an answer to prayer.’” Also: “[M]aybe I didn’t need to be so arrogant.” Uh huh.
