Former candidate Tan Nguyen gets year in jail | nguyen, sentence - News - The Orange County Register

"Former congressional candidate Tan Duc Nguyen was sentenced to a year in prison and six months in a halfway house for lying to investigators in a case stemming from 'intimidation letters' sent to Latinos during his hotly contested race against Rep. Loretta Sanchez in 2006.
Tearfully acknowledging his 'grave misjudgments' before U.S. District Judge David O. Carter in federal court in Santa Ana, Nguyen asked for mercy and was given a sentence in the middle range of a possible 21-month stint."
