9:14 a.m. -- Judge announces no victims will testify.
9:20 a.m. -- Judge says probation is out of the question.
9:27 a.m. -- Defense asks judge to meet privately with Nacchio's son's doctor; they are concerned about son's suicidal tendencies.
9:32 a.m. -- Judge denies defense request.
9:42 a.m. -- Defense argues about appropriate damages.
9:50 a.m. -- Defense argues that 87 months is "extreme" and among "upper end" of the sentencing guidelines.
10:02 a.m. -- Defense says, "This man loves his children and he never sold their shares ... He believed in the company until the end .. He is a good man, a kind man who helped others."
10:13 a.m. -- Defense: Nacchio has a unique family situation. His boy is ill and he took the job on the condition that he could be with his family.

10:30 a.m. -- Court recesses briefly to fix microphone.
10:45 a.m. -- Nacchio declines to speak during his sentencing.
10:48 a.m. -- Prosecution says charitable contributions are nothing special and Nacchio's son has other help -- a brother, a mother and a doctor. It's not a reason for downward sentencing.
10:58 a.m. -- Prosecution: We are asking for high sentence. He was the ceo and set the message. People looked to him. "Joe Nacchio was Qwest."
11:26 a.m. -- Judge to Nacchio: You have displayed over-arching greed. You condoned a culture of insider training. These are crimes of greed. Crimes do not pay, they cost.
11:32 a.m. -- Judge: Charitable giving is expected. Nacchio is not extraordinary. Generosity to family is commendable but not worthy of special sentencing.
11:38 a.m. -- Judge: relating to David -- he is on numerous medications. To Nacchio: you have been a wonderful father. But the only reason to come to Colorado was greed and money.
11:40 a.m. -- Judge: Nacchio's son can visit him in jail. Bureau of prison can adjust as needed.
11:55 a.m. -- Judge orders Nacchio to 6 years in prison. He must also pay $19 million fine. 12:04 p.m. -- Defense: They can win on appeal and request a new trial. They want bail for Nacchio.
12:18 p.m. -- Prosecution: The grounds for appeal are limited. They argue that authorities take him into custody now.
