Governor Vag Probe, Wife GUILTY OF CORRUPTION 16/20 COUNTS

[schuylaar]

they're going away..nice that the judge gave them until january to get their affairs in order, spend their last christmas with family.

too bad it's only gonna be club fed.



Sentencing is set for January 6 at 10 a.m. The couple faces mandatory minimum prison sentences, but the maximum sentence for each corruption charge is 20 years. During the next phase of sentencing, family members and friends will likely contact the judge, traditionally by mail, to plead for leniency for the former first couple of Virginia.

But he's putting his "trust in the Lord".
How can anything go wrong with that?

What a sleazeball..his whole defense was to blame it on his wife and say that she was whoring for free shit.

right? wonder what the minimum sentence for those charges are?

i see they chose to report maximum sentence for extra media sensation.

even at 1 year per count that's 16 minimally.

i will say i read an article where she complained that they are elected officials who are just regular people with no budget for functions so she was forced to take gifts from constituents.

That's only if they aren't served concurrently.
I get a feeling any white-collar crime in the US will not be met with anything more than a 5 year sentence (unless it's of Bernie Madoff proportions). But I really don't know much about this story, having only heard a few blurbs about it on MSNBC or Bloomberg... How much money was involved? $180k ?
Peanuts...

stealing more than $100 from wal-mart is not a misdemeanor in florida it's a felony.

All career politicians should wind up in jail.

It's not like either this guy or Christie tried to auction off a Senate seat.

And what will be the earliest they can apply for parole? One can't neglect that part.
You might be right, though. The nominal sentence could be something like that, but in the end it'll be on paper only.

Fed time
Forget about parole

On Wednesday, December 7, 2011, Blagojevich was sentenced to 14 years in federal prison.[127] He reported to prison on March 15, 2012 at Federal Correctional Institution, Englewood in Littleton, Colorado.[128] There is no parole in the Federal Prison System, and under federal rules Blagojevich will serve at least 85%, or 12 years, of his sentence after which time he may be eligible for early release (in 2024) based on good behavior.
