This legal document, a letter from the law firm Zuckerman Spaeder LLP to Judge William H. Pauley, III dated March 7, 2013, argues for a lenient sentence for their client, David Parse. The letter contends that Parse's role was limited to that of a broker executing trades, not designing or marketing illegal tax shelters, and that the sentencing guidelines are too harsh for his level of culpability. It further notes that of all the brokers performing similar functions for the law firm Jenkins, only Parse and Craig Brubaker were prosecuted, with Parse being the only one convicted.
