Former White House lawyer J. Michael Farren could convincingly “assert appellate rights and make appellate arguments,” a Superior Court judge said. But he couldn’t muster the three words the judge wanted to hear: “I am sorry.”
And so, more than four years after Farren brutally attacked his then-wife with a flashlight in their New Canaan home, and moments after he addressed the court without issuing an apology, Farren was sentenced to 15 years in prison on Sept. 11. He had been convicted of attempted murder in July.
