Hopefully closing the coffin of the Kilpatrick Era.

Let's hope the trend of prison time for crime by politicians continues

Should be a lot of ex-politicians in the next election. "Vote for me for Cell Block C."

As they say "Different strokes for different folks, and probation for Republicans."

Not to mention he doesn't have to show up until after his kid graduates in June. Why not what they do for everyone else: lock him up now and give him a day pass for the graduation?

Exactly... he would have 1/4 of his jail time out of the way by then.

from the WXYZ story referenced earlier "Federal prosecutors wanted to see Spivey do jail time and were hoping judge Victoria Roberts would sentence him to 3 years"
So, could have got 3 yrs, instead got 2 yrs... not a awfully big reduction in sentence. Bottom line is at least he'll do some time.
