MIAMI AP – A federal judge agreed Wednesday to shave two years from former Washington lobbyist Jack Abramoff’s prison sentence for a fraudulent Florida casino boat deal because of his extensive cooperation in that case and a wide-ranging political corruption probe that upended Washington politics.
The decision by U.S. District Judge Paul Huck guarantees that Abramoff, 49, will serve no more than an additional four years in prison – the sentence imposed by a Washington, D.C., judge last week in the separate corruption case.
