The Associated Press reports that Garza expressed remorse before his sentencing, which was about half the length recommended by prosecutors. He said he also factored Garza's youth and "turbulent childhood" into his decision to depart from sentencing guidelines that recommended 33 months. But Coughenour ruled out a sentence of probation, saying he wanted to avoid possible disparities in the punishment that Garza's co-defendants could face. Johnny Roman Garza, 21, expressed remorse before a federal judge in Seattle handed down the sentence, which was roughly half the length of the term recommended by prosecutors and a probation officer. "If I were to give him straight probation, it would make it very difficult to deal with the other persons appropriately," the judge said.
