"Defense attorney Dick DeGuerin left the courthouse quickly after the sentence was announced but he spoke briefly, saying, 'If I told you what I thought, I would get sued. This will not stand.'
Addressing the court prior to the sentencing, DeLay argued that he still doesn't believe he did anything wrong and never did anything for personal gain.
'I always intended to follow the law,' he said. 'I'm not stupid. Everything I did I had accountants and lawyers telling me what to do and how to follow the letter of the law, even the spirit of the law.'"
