Wilkes Sentenced to 12 Years in Prison for Bribing Cunningham
By Paul Kiel - February 19, 2008, 3:57PM

So it appears that Brent Wilkes will get only a slightly more severe sentence than Duke Cunningham. Wilkes, convicted last year on all counts, was reportedly sentenced to 12 years in prison today -- prosecutors had asked for as much as 25 years and no fewer than 15. The probation officials had recommended as much as 60.

But Judge Larry Burns, for whatever reason, decided on 12. Cunningham himself was sentenced to a little more than 8 years after pleading guilty. We'll have more information when it's available.

7. He'll have to
If Wilkes starts cracking up in prison and talking about the DOD money laundering scam he was involved in, he could take half the party down with him.
