 Former Paintful Mayor Bob Porter found out today that he'll spend four years in federal prison on the federal corruption charges he was convicted on in September. Now during today's hearing in federal court and Pikeville behind me Porter sat quietly and just stared forward before the judge entered the courtroom. After the judge entered the courtroom and during the allocution process of the hearing Porter chose not to speak as did his attorney. Now the prosecution in the case asked that Porter sentence fit the crime and even going as far as to say that the crimes that Porter was convicted of committing seemed to run rampant throughout eastern Kentucky politics a sort of to the victor goes to spoils mentality. The prosecution also acknowledged though that the case may be of a good person gone bad after they get in the power. In the theme of letting the sentence fit the crime ran throughout today's hearing and Judge Danny Greaves actually took a number of factors into account in sentencing Porter including Porter's age, his lack of a criminal history, as well as previous good works including charitable giving and the sentence he actually levied upon Porter was less than the 51 to 63 months that Porter faced per sentencing guidelines. The sentence according to Judge Greaves was appropriate but not excessive. Porter will report to federal prison on March 13th. Reporting in downtown Pikeville for EKB news. I'm Chris Anderson.
