Okay... False alarm. I calmed down now. He’s free on bail, pending appeal.
Congressman’s briber finally makes bail
Brent Wilkes leaves prison on appeal
January 6, 2009
Brent Wilkes, the Poway man who was at the center of a corruption scandal that brought down former U.S. Rep Randy “Duke” Cunningham, walked out of a federal prison Tuesday, free on $2 million bail while he appeals his conviction.
It marked the first time Wilkes, 54, has been out of custody since February, when he was sentenced to 12 years in prison for bribery, conspiracy, fraud and wire-tapping for his role in bribing the ex-North County Republican lawmaker. It is the largest congressional corruption case ever uncovered.
That sounds more like it. lol
If he’s lucky they won’t increase his sentence.
