(CNN)Former Republican Rep. Duncan Hunter was sentenced Tuesday to 11 months in prison and three years of parole for corruption charges stemming from his misuse of more than $200,000 in campaign funds for a slew of personal expenses.
Hunter pleaded guilty in December to one count of conspiracy to misuse campaign funds. He sat expressionless as the sentence was handed down and said during the hearing that he takes "full responsibility for any dime that was spent by me or anyone else on my campaign."
Hunter will be on supervised release for three years and must participate in a drug and alcohol treatment program, and he will be housed somewhere in the western region of the United States.
Assistant US Attorney Phillip Halpern had asked for a 14-month sentence for Hunter and took on the former Marine's character in an 87-page sentencing recommendation.

What a miscarriage of justice that is! Anyone not in politics would receive three years, at least, for the crimes he committed.
