A Boston federal judge said he was "appalled by the brazenness and flagrant stupidity" of criminal defense attorney Robert George before sentencing him to 3 1/2 years in prison for money laundering and related charges.
During a 90-minute sentencing hearing on October 31, Judge Nathaniel Gorton of the District of Massachusetts sentenced George to 42 months in prison for each of seven counts, to be served concurrently. Gorton imposed one year of supervised release for each count, also to be served concurrently. In addition, he imposed a $12,500 fine and a $700 special assessment, and ordered George to forfeit $39,500 and the Lexus he used to conduct a meeting related to the charges.
