Tim Donaghy Sentenced To 15 Months In Prison
ESPN reports that Tim Donaghy has been sentenced to 15 months in prison for providing inside tips to gamblers wagering on NBA games.
It’s the same term Donaghy’s buddy James Battista received last week for placing bets on games based on Tim’s illegal tips.
The ex-ref is somewhat fortunate, as he could have faced up to 33 months behind bars. But NEWSDAY follows up that the ruling by Federal Judge Carol Amon “took into account Donaghy’s cooperation in the investigation.”
