We Were Expecting This: Kidan Pleads "Guilty Your Honor"

Former Abramoff partner pleads guilty in Suncruz fraud case
CURT ANDERSONAssociated PressMIAMI -

The former business partner of Washington lobbyist Jack Abramoff in the ill-fated purchase of the SunCruz Casinos fleet of gambling boats pleaded guilty Thursday to federal fraud and conspiracy charges involving the 2000 deal.

Adam Kidan's plea was accepted by U.S. District Judge Paul C. Huck. It will also likely require that he cooperate in the SunCruz case against Abramoff and perhaps even testify against his old partner in order to get a reduced prison sentence.

Kidan pleaded guilty to conspiracy and wire fraud. The other two felony counts in the indictment were dropped as part of his plea deal. He faces a maximum of 10 years in prison at sentencing set for March 1.
Kidan only spoke to respond to Huck's question on how he would plead. "Guilty, your honor," he said.
