Black’s Sentence Handed Down
Former state House Speaker Jim Black was ordered Tuesday to pay a $1 million fine on a state political corruption charge, with the judge giving the disgraced politician less than five months to pay.
Wake County Superior Court Judge Donald Stephens also sentenced Black to serve up to 10 months in prison, with the term to run concurrently with a federal five-year sentence Black received earlier this year. Black began serving that sentence Monday.
I hope Black enjoys showering with Bubba. It couldn’t happen to a better guy.
