Unbelievable. The guy's unapologetic and is complaining about a five year term.

Send him to trial.

Bob Gamere pleads guilty to kid porn rap
Faces 5 years behind bars

By Marie Szaniszlo | Wednesday, September 9, 2009

An unrepentant Bob Gamere pleaded guilty yesterday to federal kiddie pornography charges - but not before scoffing at a plea deal that will put the former Hub sportscaster behind bars for only five years - the mandatory minimum.

The 70-year-old Brookline resident, who used the online screen name “GreatGamere,” at first objected to the plea agreement but backed down after being told the case still could go to a jury.

Gamere, a onetime sports anchor for Channels 7 and 56 and former host of the popular “Candlepins for Cash,” could get up to 70 years in prison if a jury convicted him of one count of possession and two counts of e-mailing child pornography.

Yet Gamere appeared indignant about facing five years behind bars, saying he could have been sentenced to a year or less had he been charged in state court.

“All the average, ordinary citizens I spoke to felt it would be along the lines of the state of Massachusetts,” Gamere said of the proposed federal jail time.

Agreed. Let this scumbag take his chances with a jury. Something tells me most jurors are going to take a dim view of a 70-year-old with child porn.
