Former Michigan Supreme Court Justice Diane Hathaway was sentenced for bank fraud in federal court today in Ann Arbor.
Hathaway was forced to resign in January, halfway through her eight-year term on the state Supreme Court.
She resigned before pleading guilty to a scheme to cheat a bank by hiding assets including a vacation home in Florida.
That helped her qualify as a distressed homeowner, so she could then sell a lakefront home in Grosse Pointe Park as a short-sale.
Rick Pluta, Lansing Bureau Chief for the Michigan Public Radio Network, has been covering this story for us, and he joined us today in the studio.
