Should Ryan serve less time than Scott Fawell?

From the Chicago Sun-Times:

Feds say Ryan sentence should exceed Fawell's
Former gov's lawyers battle for short stay

If George Ryan's onetime chief of staff Scott Fawell is serving 6½ years in prison, shouldn't the former governor do more time?

That's at least one of the arguments prosecutors will advance in what's expected to be a highly charged sentencing hearing Wednesday before U.S. District Judge Rebecca Pallmeyer....

...."It would create an unreasonable sentencing disparity if Ryan, an elected constitutional officer holding the highest office in the state, received a lesser sentence than the 78-month sentence imposed by this Court on his right-hand man, Scott Fawell, who typically acted at Ryan's direction," prosecutors wrote in a filing last week.

Those were the arguments prosecutors made two years ago during Ryan's sentencing, and they are still important points today. What will it do to future public corruption investigations in Illinois if the Little Fish ends up serving more time than the Big Fish in the biggest public corruption trial in recent history? Granted, the Big Fish in this case has grey hair, but don't they usually?

According to the Chicago Tribune, Fawell served more than four years of his 6 1/2 month sentence, which was reduced by only four months for testifying against his old boss.

So now, I'll ask the question again that federal prosecutors asked two years ago: Shouldn't George Ryan serve more time than Scott Fawell?
