Former State Senator Responds to Guilty Plea in Corruption Case

A former state senator and one-time candidate for Governor will remain in jail after a guilty plea made last week in a federal corruption trial.

 

Republican Sam McCann has been ordered to remain in custody prior to a June sentencing. Before the hearing – McCann had posted a video to Instagram detailing an alleged plot the FBI wanted him to lie about.

 

 

McCann’s lawyer says his client doesn’t remember making the video while driving to court last week. He pleaded guilty to nine federal counts – 8 of the counts could each carry up to 20 years in prison. He will be sentenced in June.
