The crime of which the accused have been convicted, that is the main crime, the crime of conspiracy, is in essence one of high treason.
The state has decided not to charge the crime in this form.
Bearing this in mind and giving the matter very serious consideration I have decided not to impose the supreme penalty which in a case like this would usually be the proper penalty for the crime, but consistent with my duty that is the only leniency which I can show.
