Bernie Madoff would still very much like to go home to his Upper East Side penthouse while he awaits sentencing. Lawyer Ira Sorkin pressed the case in front of a three-judge panel this morning and argued he wasn't a flight risk. Prosecutors begged to disagree, and the judges said they'd issue a ruling "in due course." So there's still a small sliver of hope, which should boost Bernie's spirits a bit today. [NYT]
