And, by the way, the reason it was legitimately AN issue was you can't ask for leniency based on how remorseful you are and how you take responsibility for what you did, then turn around and claim you think you had noble reason for doing what you did, and were following the guiding light of the 'American Dream.'

As I read the story, it wasn't the defendant who claimed she was trying to follow the American dream but supporters of the defendant. If true, then she was being punished for what others said, not what she said.
