"Corruptus in Extremis"
- If an average person robs a 7-11 they go to jail. But a Democrat Senator convicted of eight felonies spends a big 1/2 hour in jail.
A former Los Angeles area State Senator convicted of perjury and voter fraud served half an hour of a 90-day sentence behind bars.
Democrat Rod Wright appeared Friday at a Los Angeles County jail to begin serving his sentence. But the 62-year-old former lawmaker was released almost immediately after the paperwork was completed -- just 34 minutes after he was booked reports NBC News.
Wright was convicted earlier this year on eight felony counts, including perjury and voting fraud, for lying about where he lived when he ran for office.
He had said he moved into an Inglewood property he owned so he could run in 2008 to represent the 25th Senate District, but jurors found that Wright actually lived outside the district.
Wright resigned his seat rather than face possible expulsion. In separate cases, two other Democratic state senators have been indicted on federal bribery and corruption charges.
