Connecticut ex-governor sentencing postponed

HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — A federal judge has agreed to postpone the sentencing of former Connecticut Gov. John G. Rowland until January.

Rowland was convicted last week of seven counts related to his attempts to hide work on two Republican congressional campaigns through phony business deals.

The defense asked to move the sentencing from Dec. 12 after prosecutors indicated they would not object if Rowland wanted to wait until after the holidays. U.S. District Judge Janet Bond Arterton set a new date of Jan. 7.

The convictions carry a total possible sentence of 56 years in prison, though Rowland likely will face much less time under federal guidelines.
