LOS ANGELES - A lawyer known for his high-profile cases against the police and President Bush asked a judge on Wednesday to spare him jail time for federal tax evasion and fraud conviction.
Prosecutors said Stephen Yagman, 63, should serve a minimum of nine years in prison. Yagman's lawyer argued the punishment would be too harsh, calling it "vindictive prosecution.''
If he avoids prison time, Yagman has been asked to teach an undergraduate course on law, morality and social justice at University of California. Full Story - Discount Magazine Subscriptions - Discount Cigarettes & Tobacco - Hallmark
