OFFICIALS ASK TO REDUCE SENTENCE FOR FORMER PROSECUTOR
Federal prosecutors want a judge to knock time off the 11-year sentence of
a former prosecutor in exchange for his help in convicting a man in Texas.
Former Saline County Prosecutor Dan Harmon was convicted in a scheme in
which he was accused of taking money and drugs from criminal defendants in
exchange for dropped charges.
The U.S. attorney's office said in a court filing Tuesday that Harmon
helped the government convict a former inmate he met in federal prison in
Pekin, Ill. The inmate confided to Harmon that he planned to kill an
informant and an FBI agent responsible for his incarceration.
