Tom DeLay, Republican

Tom DeLay finally gets his sentence.

CNN:

Former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay will serve three years in prison on his November conviction on money laundering and conspiracy charges, a Texas judge ruled Monday.


Judge Pat Priest sentenced DeLay to three years on the conspiracy charge and five years on the money-laundering charge.But the judge will allow DeLay to serve 10 years probation with community service on the laundering charge in lieu of the prison sentence, and the two sentences will be served concurrently.

Priest remanded DeLay into custody and set a $10,000 bond pending appeal.....

It certainly took a long time, but it was worth the wait.
