Ex-S.F. Supervisor Ed Jew sent back to jail for about a month

Source: San Francisco Chronicle

Former San Francisco Supervisor Ed Jew will serve about a month of his original one-year sentence for perjury in County Jail, and the rest in home detention on an ankle monitor, a San Francisco Superior Court judge ruled Friday.

The decision came after Jew's attorneys argued that he should be given timed-served credit for the almost five years he spent in prison camps on separate federal extortion charges.

Judge Kay Tsenin denied his attorneys' plea that he spend his entire sentence in home detention, ruling that Jew should spend 60 days of his sentence in County Jail - he can be out in 30 days for good behavior - and that he must do 2,440 hours of community service while wearing the ankle monitor.

"Mr. Jew needs to repay the community, and that's not going to happen behind bars," she said.

Before there was Leland Yee, there was Ed Jew, notorious for extortion and false residency during his time as a county supervisor.

All the corrupt pols are Dems.

Everybody knows the GOP in CA is squeaky clean.

How wonderfully convenient for Conservative interests in CA that
recent disclosures have clipped the Dem supermajority.

OK, the charges seem legit. No complaint there.
Get rid of those guys!

But so 1-sided?

And the timing is fascinating.

I suspect the GOP are not being looked into.
If they were, there would be GOPers in trouble too.

CA has lots of political corruption---In BOTH parties.

How come so 1-sided lately?

Big question to ask...

CUI BONO?

It must have been that Fegelein. Fegelein! Fegelein! Fegelein! All jokes aside, though, I was never a fan of Yee thanks to his anti-video game legislation.....I dunno about the other fellow, but Yee always smelled like a DINO to me anyhow.
