In a significant development on Tuesday, a disbarred attorney was sentenced to 33 months in prison by a California federal judge. This sentence came after the attorney pleaded guilty to accepting a $2 million kickback in a collusive lawsuit scheme involving the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power. Notably, the sentence exceeded the 18 months requested by the federal government. More details on the case are available for those interested.
