Former Virginia first lady Maureen McDonnell has been sentenced to one year and one day in prison in a public corruption case that destroyed her husband’s political career. U.S. District Judge James Spencer sentenced McDonnell on eight counts. Prosecutors asked for an 18-month sentence. Defense attorneys requested probation and 4,000 hours of community service. A jury in September found former Gov. Bob McDonnell and his wife guilty of doing favors for a nutritional supplements executive in exchange for $165,000 in gifts and loans. The former Republican governor was sentenced last month to two years in prison.
