This was one mistake, Bello said, Òalbeit an immensely serious one.
He also pointed out that the victim would not have made for a sympathetic witness had the case gone to trial.
We're not talking about a person who's an altar boy, Bello said of the businessman.
Sipel will be on probation for five years upon his release from prison.
