No, not that one. She got immunity years ago.

Madison - A legislative aide accused of raising campaign funds for Republican candidates while on the state payroll has pleaded guilty in a Capitol corruption case that began nine years ago.

Fifty-nine-year-old Sherry Schultz was placed in a deferred prosecution program this week in Dane County and became the last defendant to settle a case linked to the scandal that rocked Wisconsin politics. Five top lawmakers were charged in the case, including Schultz's boss, former Assembly Speaker Scott Jensen.

The State Journal reported that Schultz pleaded guilty to misconduct in office. The charge would be dismissed if she completes the program.

Schultz was originally convicted of felony misconduct. That conviction, as well as Jensen's, was thrown out by a state appeals court in 2007. Jensen pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor last December.

1. Oh, this is the court the repugs control?? she was a pawn in the game.

they protected their own, once again, she got off easy and will retain her state employee pension once she finishes "the program". the repugs always reward FAILURE, because betrayal of public trust is loyalty to repuglican party.
