| Monica Conyers wins 2½-month delay in heading to prison |
| 2010-06-25 |
| A federal judge today gave former Detroit Councilwoman Monica Conyers a 2½-month extension in beginning to serve her bribery sentence. U.S. District Judge Avern Cohn issued an order allowing Conyers to report to prison on Sept. 10 rather than July 1. She has asked for the delay to be present for the surgery of a close family member. Federal prosecutors didn't oppose her request. But she wanted to remain free until Sept. 26. Cohn offered no explanation for requiring her to begin serving the sentence on Sept. 10. Conyers was sentenced in March to 37 months in prison after pleading guilty to accepting at least $6,000 in bribes for her vote on a $1.2-billion sewage disposal contract for Synagro Technologies on 2007. |
