According to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mercurynews.com\/crime-courts\/ci_29556898\/former-state-sen-leland-yee-sentenced-prison\">San Jose Mercury News<\/a>, Yee was sentenced to five years in prison today.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Dressed in a dark suit, a somber Yee had urged the judge to give him leniency, describing how he&#8217;s &#8220;ashamed&#8221; of his crimes and hoping to make amends to family and supporters. &#8220;I have taken full responsibility for my actions and crimes I have committed,&#8221; Yee said, his voice breaking. &#8220;That will haunt me the rest of my life.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Yeah, I was shocked, too. But the prosecutor had asked for eight years, so he got off pretty easy, but still it&#8217;s more than I expected. The defense had asked for 3 months to 5 years.<\/p>\n<p>I figured he&#8217;d get about 50 hours of community service to be served over the next ten years. I guess Californians take gun smuggling seriously.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nearly two years ago California State Senator and gun-grabber Leland Yee was arrested for conspiring to &hellip; <a title=\"Leland Yee sentenced\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=64519\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Leland Yee sentenced<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":40854,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[185],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-64519","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-crime"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/64519","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=64519"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/64519\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/40854"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=64519"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=64519"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=64519"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
