A federal judge in Los Angeles has sentenced Melvyn Weiss, the co-founding partner of Milberg, to 30 months in prison. US District Judge John Walter of the Central District of California said it was "difficult to reconcile" Weiss's numerous charitable contributions with his criminal conduct, which "strikes directly at the core and heart of the judicial system." Weiss is set to report to prison on 28 August. His lawyer, Benjamin Brafman, of Brafman & Associates, asked that Weiss serve his sentence at a men's minimum security facility in West Virginia.
