Reaction is coming in from all over to the prison sentence for Bill Cellini.
Prosecutors say time behind bars is justified, and hope Cellini’s fate will be a stark reminder to other political figures around the state not to engage in corrupt activities.
But defense lawyers think the sentence is overly harsh and plan to appeal.
Meanwhile, friends and supporters of Cellini are expressing sadness, and say prison is inappropriate for a man that has donated time and money to numerous important local causes and projects.
