Anthony Weiner says he hit ‘rock bottom,’ asks to be spared prison
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleAnthony Weiner calls his crime his “rock bottom” as he spoke before a judge in New York City sentences him for his sexting crime.
Weiner fights back tears and occasionally cries as he reads from a written statement on a page he held in front of him in Manhattan federal court. He said he was “a very sick man for a very long time.” He asks to be spared from prison.
The Democrat’s lawyer, Arlo Devlin-Brown, had asked that Weiner serve no prison time. A prosecutor recommended he serve between 21 months and 27 months in prison.
