Jesse Jr. and Sandi Jackson Prepare for Sentencing
The husband and wife's fates will be determined by Judge Amy Berman Jackson this afternoon.
The hammer falls down on Jesse Jackson Jr. and wife Sandi today. How hard will be determined this afternoon, as Judge Amy Berman Jackson contemplates their fate.
Prosecutors want to put Jesse Jackson Jr. away for four years after he pleaded guilty to misspending $750,000 of campaign funds for "lavish personal use," according to WGN. Sandi pleaded guilty to tax fraud, tied to her husband's scheme. She, too, faces potential jail time.
Some experts say the Jackson name might actually help the two in a more lenient sentence, reports WGN.
