Several people briefed on the case said Monday that Lerach and the prosecutors had agreed on a binding deal in which Lerach's lawyers would ask for a sentence of 12 months and prosecutors would seek 24 months. The agreement, said people familiar with the case, would have Lerach pay a fine of $8 million, and would get his former firm out from under the investigation.
