LOS ANGELES >> Former state Assemblyman Tom Calderon
on Monday was sentenced to a year in federal custody for money laundering, two months after he pleaded guilty to hiding tens of thousands of dollars in bribes paid to his brother, another former state politician.
U.S. District Judge Christina Snyder agreed to allow Calderon, 62, to serve half of his sentence at home under electronic monitoring due to medical reasons after suffering a heart attack and being diagnosed with diabetes.
His total sentence could be reduced to 10 months if he gets credit for good behavior in prison.
Calderon won’t enter prison until Oct. 27. His sentence includes a year of supervised release after serving his sentence, and he’ll also be required to perform 100 hours of community service.
