Innocence Project: Former Arizona judge who sentenced man to 290 years in prison now advocating to shorten that sentence

PHOENIX — Nearly 300 years — that’s how long Carl Buske and Atdom Patsalis were sentenced to serve in Arizona prisons for their respective crimes.

In 2007, the court found Buske to be in possession of 29 printed images of child pornography. Each felony conviction carried a 10-year sentence. Patsalis was sentenced in 2015 for 25 counts of non-violent, non-dangerous theft-related crimes in Mohave County.
