Former State Sen. Newton Resentenced To Five Years In Prison
Is this judge a republik?

A federal judge upheld former state Sen. Ernest Newton's five-year prison sentence Monday, saying a lesser punishment would not send the message that an epidemic of political corruption in Connecticut must stop.

"He made a business out of his elected public office," said U.S. District Judge Alan H. Nevas, who also said that Newton repeatedly betrayed the public trust.'

This guy is getting more jail time than rowland or any of the present administration.

1. That only means Rowland's term was far too short
Not that Newton doesn't deserve every day of his.
