Peter Picone pleaded guilty to Count Two of eight-count indictment charging him with conspiracy to intentionally traffic in counterfeit military goods in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 2320(a)(1). Despite acknowledging his participation in the conspiracy was inexcusable and an apology, Picone is now asking for a non-incarceration sentence of house arrest and probation and a downward departure based upon “Diminished Capacity”. It is Picone’s claim he suffers from a severe panic/anxiety disorder, deep depression and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) which made it virtually impossible for him to effectively process information or differentiate between reality and fiction.
