Former Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell given 2 years in prison | 06 Jan 2015 | A federal judge has sentenced former Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell to two years in prison, followed by two years of supervised release, for 11 convictions on public corruption charges. He'll start his prison term Feb. 9. He also must pay $1,100 — which is $100 per charge. His sentencing ends the dramatic downfall of the Republican governor once heralded as a rising star — tapped to give the party's 2010 rebuttal to President Barack Obama's State of the Union, and a fixture on short lists for national office. Now, McDonnell has another distinction: He's the first Virginia governor ever convicted of public corruption.
