Smith's treasurer placed on probation

While former Sen. Jeff Smith, D-St. Louis, received one year and one day in prison following a one hour, 10 minute court session Tuesday, his co-defendants will not serve any prison time.

As noted in The Turner Report Tuesday, former Rep. Steve Brown, D-St. Louis, was placed on probation for two years and fined $50,000. Smith's campaign treasurer in his unsuccessful 2006 Congressional campaign against Russ Carnahan, Nick Adams, received two years probation and a $5,000 fine.

The three men were charged with lying to the government during the investigation of an illegal campaign mailing.
