"I think we have all done something in our lives we wish we could take back. I wish both of you well. I'm sorry it came to this," U.S. District Court Judge Richard G.

Because Armstrong's identity wasn't stolen and Chapman's hijinks cost him a job he'd held for 20 years, assistant U.S. Attorney Robert Fisher told Stearns the feds weren't pressing for prison time for the lifelong friends.[/i]
