Former U.S. Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. and his wife pleaded guilty to federal charges related to years of using campaign funds for personal expenses that included purchases of Michael Jackson memorabilia, $10,000 in children's furniture, and a Rolex watch. Could face up to 5 years.
At a separate hearing, his wifey, former Chicago Alderman Sandra Stevens Jackson, 49, also pleaded guilty in a quivering voice to one count of filing false tax returns in connection with the misuse of her husband's campaign funds. The charge involved a failure to declare more than $600,000 in income from 2005 to 2011. The total came from campaign funds.
She could receive up to three years in prison for this as well..
If only junior had been less greedy and stuck to the customary grafting and fleecing...
Guess his nude kung fu contorting in bath houses wasn't therapeutic enough.
