SMR wrote this note while the judge was giving the crazy 27 year sentence
"Please stay strong through the ordeal. Tell the bochrim that I really loved learning with them, and Hashem should save me even in this time, and who really knows?
Just tell everybody I am unshaken in my faith of Hashem
A person goes through life, and we are only the avodim of Hashem so I am an eved of Hashem and accept what comes
Sholom Mordechai Halevi"
ETA: It's hard to imagine what's going through someones mind when they find out they are getting 27 years, and to see this is inspiring...
