Posted: Apr 8, 2010

This is 'old news' but I never heard a thing about it. Hm-m-mm. Wonder why.

 

A former Detroit councilwoman married to Democratic U.S. Rep. John Conyers Jr. was sentenced to 37 months in prison Wednesday for accepting bribes from a waste-management company trying to win city business.

Monica Conyers is appealing the sentence, which includes two years of supervised release after prison, according to the office of U.S. District Judge Avern Cohn, who handled the case.

Monica Conyers, right, arrives at the Theodore Levin Federal Courthouse in Detroit on Wednesday for sentencing on her bribery conviction.

The sentencing is the latest chapter in the latest scandal to plague Detroit, already struggling with severe unemployment, poverty and blight.

Mrs. Conyers in June admitted she took bribes from Houston-based Synagro Technologies Inc. as it sought a $47 million sludge-disposal contract from the city. The company won the contract in a 5-4 vote, with Mrs. Conyers voting in its favor after initially opposing it.

Florida Mother Sentenced To 20 YearsJul 16, 2013
...against her allegedly abusive husband. Inside her home. She must have felt quite threatened. "Under the state's 10-20-life law, a conviction for aggravated assault where a firearm has been discharged carries a minimum and maximum sentence of 20 years without regard to any extenuating or mitigating circumstances that may be present, such as those in this case." The judge rejected a motion to grant her immunity under the "Stand your Ground" law. I guess fear of bodily harm is a sli ...

Judge Marsha Revel sentenced LiLo after an incredulous prosecutor, Danette Meyers, told the judge that Lohan has been thumbing her nose at the court. The evidence was loud and clear today -- Lindsay violated probation by failing to attend ...
