Former US House Majority Leader Tom DeLay was sentenced to three years in prison for money laundering and conspiracy.
DeLay was sentenced by senior judge Pat Priest to three years for the conspiracy conviction and five years for money laundering. The five years sentence was probated. That means DeLay would serve ten year probation instead.
DeLay is being booked right now at the Travis County jail, but will be released on $20,000 bond pending appeal.
