A federal judge sentenced former Sen. Jeff Smith, D-St. Louis to one year and one day in jail this morning. He will also have to pay a $50,000 fine. The judge rejected Smith's attempt to get off with community service and house arrest.
Former Rep. Steve Brown, D-St. Louis, who cooperated with the FBI in its investigation, received two years probation and was fined $40,000.
What is the significance of the extra day?
