text: The Browns did meet the minimum criteria for EM,  however, if all the original 60 charges would've been applied, it's doubtful. I think the judge missed an opportunity to make the Browns an example of the penalties you may face, if your caught cheating on the PFD. The press and exposure in the case has created much more awareness than it does on cases such as this. This slap on the wrist, and paying back the monies stolen, may have been worth taking that chance of being caught.
