Robert Brady was charged in 1959 for kidnapping and failure to release hostage without any harm. This imposed a maximum death penalty if the jury recommended it. After his co-defendant decided to testify against him, Brady decided to plead guilty (Dewar, 2005). This surprised many, and the Judge had to ask twice if that decision was arrived at voluntarily. However, Brady later sought post-conviction relief, and the court ruled that the jury can only impose a death penalty. However, the District Court in Mexico denied Brady the call for a relief, which made him seek more appeals.

Robert Brady broke the Federal Kidnapping Act holding people hostage and hurting them. The local courts could not exonerate him and were denied any relief. The case that Brady faced was a serious criminal case that inflicted a lot of pain to the victims, and various courts found it was better to give him maximum sentence and not offer him any kind of relief (Dewar, 2005). Besides, the appeal court for the Tenth Circuit was in agreement with the District Court in denying Robert Brady any kind of relief.

Upon accepting his plea, Brady was imprisoned for fifty years by the Judge and a sentence reduced to thirty after that. The defendant had committed a serious criminal offense and had fifty years served justice (Dewar, 2005). However, Brady was intelligent, and his defense was well planned. However, the case varied many deaths, and it was hard to get the relief he so much wanted. It is still unclear how such a dangerous person got his sentence reduced to thirty. That was an injustice to the victims. Such people should never come out of prison to prevent more damage from happening. The United States government, however, did an excellent job. Brady will pay for the bad things he did to innocent people.
