Trafficant: Re-Election from Jail?
James Trafficant was sentenced to 8 years today. He was denied bail pending appeal and taken off in handcuffs.
The Judge gave him more time than the prosecutor asked for and fined him more than the jury found to be the amount involved in his fraud.
He became the second congressperson to be expelled from the House of Representatives ever. He got one vote: Rep. Gary Condit.
He has promised to run for re-election from prison.
