He allowed the process to continue and even paid an employee around $50 for each uninspected cow showing signs of eye cancer that Rancho distributed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So why did Singleton get three months in prison while his business partner faces a year?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prosecutors and the judge were lenient in Singleton’s sentencing due to his cooperation with federal investigators and limited involvement in the scheme. Singleton was also the first to plead guilty in the case.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The 78-year-old Amaral, by contrast, was the last to plead guilty and found to be the leader of the scheme. From 2012 to 2014, he instructed employees to process cattle that had been condemned by the Department of Agriculture and to slip in cattle displaying signs of eye cancer in place of healthy animals that had already been inspected and approved for slaughter. The scheme included cutting “USDA Condemned” stamps out of the \"eye cow\" carcasses once they were processed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Singleton’s lawyers asked the judge to sentence their client to no prison time due to his advanced age and the unlikelihood that he will ever work again to commit another crime.
