Bridgegate Prosecutors Seek Imprisonment at or below Minimum Guideline for Baroni and Kelly

NJ.com reports, “Calling their crimes a ‘stunningly brazen and vindictive abuse of power,’ federal prosecutors urged a federal judge to sentence both Bill Baroni and Bridget Kelly, convicted last year in the Bridgegate scandal, to a ‘meaningful term of imprisonment.’ But in a pre-sentence report filed Monday [March 27], the U.S. Attorney’s office did not ask for the maximum term. Instead, they recommended a sentence for the two . . . to be ‘at the bottom or modestly below’ the federal sentencing guidelines of between 37 to 46 months in prison.”
