Jeff Smith was sentenced in Missouri today to one year and one day in prison, according to this report.
Two former St. Louis-area lawmakers and a campaign treasurer were sentenced Tuesday in a federal obstruction of justice case tied to a failed 2004 congressional campaign.
Former state Sen. Jeff Smith, D-St. Louis, received the harshest sentence of the three — one year and one day in prison and a $50,000 fine — despite his attorney’s plea that Smith’s stellar community service record made him appropriate for in-home detention.
