PITTSBURGH — A judge sentenced former Republican state Sen. Jane Orie to spend three to four years in jail Monday.
Channel 11’s Alan Jennings reported Orie was led out of the courtroom in handcuffs just after noon Monday. He is working to figure out her exact sentence.
The judge originally delayed the sentencing, giving attorneys more time to confer about disputed matters, including how much restitution Orie may be ordered to pay.
The 50-year-old suburban Pittsburgh attorney was sentenced on charges that she illegally used her legislative staff to do campaign work and then forged documents to cover that up.
