NEW HAVEN, Conn. – Prosecutors have asked a federal court judge to reject a prison sentence requested by the attorneys of former Gov. John G. Rowland. In court documents filed Tuesday, they questioned whether Rowland deserved “yet another ‘break.”
Last week, U.S. Attorneys and Rowland’s lawyers offered different opinions on how much time in prison the former governor should serve for his recent convictions for campaign corruption.
Prosecutors asked for as much as 46 months, pointing to Rowland’s history of corruption leading to his resignation from office in 2004 and 10-month bid in prison. The former governor’s lawyers asked for a sentence of less than 18 months, citing letters from supporters and his “exemplary character.”
