Abramoff Given Four Year SentenceAfter lenient sentence recommendations from the prosecution, and pleading letters to the Judge, disgraced former lobbyist Jack Abramoff has finally received his sentence: 4 years.
From the AP:
A federal judge has sentenced disgraced lobbyist Jack Abramoff to four years in prison. The judge could have sentenced Abramoff to 11 years, but he gave him credit for helping the FBI investigate influence-peddling scandal.
Late Update: Because Abramoff was already serving a six-year sentence on unrelated charges, today’s sentencing, which will be served concurrently with the earlier one, means he won’t be doing any extra time.
