    serving the community and others, and despite a history of pranks and misguided practical jokes, he is a peaceful man who is not aggressive or confrontational in any way. Many people can attest that Mr. Arenas has these defining traits. Besides undersigned counsel — who so attested in the Pre-Sentence Report (PSR)1 — countless individuals have called and/or written with their personal stories about Mr. Arenas, experiences ranging from brief encounters in which Mr. Arenas was generous with his time and attention, to long-term friendships that demonstrate the full depth of his loyalty and character. This input has been uniformly positive and supportive, and paints a picture of a man who is somewhat off-beat, but fundamentally very decent and unfailingly kind to others. The following memorandum attempts to capture that input and the character of the man who will be standing before Your Honor for sentencing on March 26. This character portrait is based on the letters we have received from those whose lives have been touched by Mr. Arenas, and their words are woven throughout the text. II. MR. ARENAS’ CHARACTER Mr. Arenas’ character has been forged over a lifetime that has seen both its share of challenges and disappointments as well as a surprising number of obstacles overcome and expectations exceeded. These experiences have taught him the value of hard work and determination and the importance of family and community. As a result, he is surprisingly grounded, especially given the extraordinary life he leads as a superstar basketball player. Indeed, Mrs. Frances Weekes, the Community Supervision Officer from the Court Services and 1 See Presentence Report (PSR) at 7-8 (Defense Attorney’s Statement) (Ex.
