Man who gave gun in Dantzler shooting seeks forgiveness in court

In 2011, Roderic Dantzler killed seven people in Grand Rapids, including his estranged wife and their daughter. He also killed himself. But he was given the gun by Michael Allen. It was illegal for Allen to supply a gun to Dantzler because Dantzler was an ex-convict who couldn't have weapons. Allen is now being tried in federal court for the crime. The government says Allen has his own record of assault and drug crimes. He's asking for a "fair" sentence. The maximum penalty is 10 years in prison.
