Manzo gets 18 to 48 months in Pa. corruption case
HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Mike Manzo, a key prosecution witness in the corruption case against former Democratic leaders in Pennsylvania’s House of Representatives, is facing 18 to 48 months in prison after being sentenced by a county judge in Harrisburg.
The 42-year-old Manzo also was given three years of probation and ordered to pay $73,000 in restitution.
He’s the former chief of staff to one-time House Democratic Leader Bill DeWeese of Greene County. He testified earlier this year against DeWeese, who was convicted and faces sentencing next week for multiple felonies.
Manzo pleaded guilty to three counts of theft, six counts of conflict of interest and one count of conspiracy and agreed to forfeit his state pension as part of his plea deal.
