CHICAGO (AP) - The campaign aide who helped to unravel corruption surrounding
former Gov. George Ryan was sentenced Tuesday to three months in a work-release
program and fined $10,000 for his part in the scandal.

Richard Juliano, 38, whose promising career in the Bush administration was derailed
by the case, also was placed on probation for four years and ordered to perform 350
hours of community service.

Juliano was the leadoff witness at the trial of Ryan's longtime right-hand man,
Scott Fawell, who now is serving a 6-year racketeering sentence for corruption in the
secretary of state's office.

Fawell eventually became the leadoff witness against Ryan as federal prosecutors
worked their way up the political food chain. The former governor has been sentenced
to 6 years in prison for racketeering.
