From the comments there:

"In it, Senior Attorney Generals Frank Fina and Patrick Blessington asked Judge Richard A. Lewis to hand down "a sentence far stiffer than standard."

They said Mr. Cott's crimes spanned 20 different political campaigns in Pennsylvania, that he has shown no remorse, that he has used an anonymous blog to deflect blame and malign the prosecution, and that he violated the terms of his bail by failing to report that he moved to New York City."

That's new since this story was posted yesterday (the original techcrunch story).
