| Prosecutors proposed prison time for ex-Fiesta Bowl boss Junker
PHOENIX,[url=http://www.govtvault.com/]gucci outlet online[/url], May 26 () -- Prosecutors will ask a Phoenix judge to sentence the former head of the Fiesta Bowl to prison for his role in a campaign-finance scheme,[url=http://www.myeduhelp.com/]christian louboutin discount[/url], court documents said.John Junker faces sentencing in U.S. District Court June 24 and the Justice Department proposed in documents filed last week that he be given a year and a day in custody, the Arizona Republic said.Junker was one of six current and former Fiesta Bowl official convicted in a campaign scandal uncovered by the Republic in 2009. The scheme involved reimbursements for bowl employees who made campaign contributions to certain candidates.No one has gone to prison yet,[url=http://www.myeduhelp.com/]christian louboutin men[/url], but Junker was identified as the ringleader of the conspiracy,[url=http://www.leedpe.com/]christian louboutin pigalle[/url], which benefited both state and federal office-seekers who were in a position to help out the bowl. Junker pleaded guilty to a conspiracy charge last year.Junker's attorney has argued for no jail time on the grounds he assisted in the state version of the investigation and because some of the campaign-finance laws he was accused of violating had since been struck down as unconstitutional by the U.S. Supreme Court. |
