"NEW YORK – Filmmaker and Obama critic Dinesh D’Souza was sentenced in Manhattan Tuesday morning in his campaign finance case to eight months in a work-release center during five years of probation, community service one day a week and a $30,000 fine.
He will be allowed to continue his writing and filmmaking but must set aside one day a week during his probation to teach English to non-English speakers.
D’Souza pleaded guilty in May to arranging “straw donors” to contribute $10,000 to the failed 2012 U.S. Senate campaign of Wendy Long, a college friend.
D’Souza let out a big sigh of relief when U.S. District Judge Richard Berman began the sentencing hearing, which lasted more than two hours, by stating he didn’t believe prison was necessary.
“I want to thank the judge for imposing what I believe is a fair sentence,” D’Souza told reporters after the hearing."
That judge has some sense of humor. D'Sousa , who's been a long standing critic of illegal aliens, gets to spend one day a week teaching English to non- English speakers.
