Former Supervisor Ed Jew was sentenced Wednesday morning to one year in county jail for lying on election-related documents about where he lived when he ran for office.
The sentencing caps an arduous legal journey for Jew that began when the former District 4 representative solicited cash bribes from owners of Quickly tapioca-drink shops in exchange for promising to help them obtain city permits to operate legally. Jew was under FBI surveillance when he accepted $40,000 in bills marked by federal agents, as a partial payment from the business owners.
Jew pleaded guilty in October to soliciting cash bribes and was sentenced to 64 months in prison on April 3 for those charges.
The sentencing Wednesday was for a separate legal proceeding, in which Jew pleaded guilty in San Francisco Superior Court in November to lying on election-related documents. The jail time will be served after Jew serves the prison time. The sentence also includes three year's probation and fines.
Jew also resigned from office in January 2008 as part of a settlement agreement in a third legal proceeding accusing him of violating city residency requirements for holding office.

All of this just for defending Michael Savage as the sole dissenting vote in the Council’s attempt to censure Savage a few years ago.
He still broke the law.
But when laws are applied with prejudice, there isn’t much justice to them.
Find any of the worthless sacks of crap that haven’t...
another case of blame the Jew?

That’s linking to another story now.
