ederal prosecutors recommended a three-year prison sentence for a former Maryland state lawmaker who pleaded guilty to charges she accepted more than $33,000 in bribes in exchange for legislative favors, including votes to increase the number of medical marijuana grower licenses.
Former Del. Cheryl Diane Glenn’s attorney on Thursday urged U.S. District Judge Catherine Blake to sentence the Baltimore Democrat to probation and home detention instead of incarceration.
The judge is scheduled to sentence Glenn, 69, next Wednesday. In separate court filings this week, prosecutors from U.S. Attorney Robert Hur’s office and defense attorney William Brennan outlined their respective arguments about whether Glenn should be jailed for her crimes.
