Edward K. Anderton, the honor student and University of Pennsylvania economics grad whose life was consumed by his romantic and criminal partnership with his girlfriend, was sentenced this afternoon to 48 months in prison by a federal judge, according to The Philadelphia Inquirer.

The article also said that Anderton made an emotional, self-abasing 20-minutes statement to the judge in which he apologized to his victims, his parents and family, and others that he said his conduct harmed.

Probably the most surprising apology was the one that Anderton made to Jocelyn Kirsch, the “Bonnie” of the “Bonnie and Clyde” duo.

“To a large part I was her downfall. If the two of us hadn’t met I don’t think that any of her crimes would have escalated to that point,” Anderton said.

He was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Eduardo C. Robreno.
