Palin Sister-in-Law Cuts Plea for Burglary

Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin's sister-in-law has reached a plea deal with prosecutors in a burglary case.

The Anchorage Daily News reports that Diana Palin, the 35-year-old half sister of the governor's husband, Todd, was sentenced last week to 15 months in prison. She already has served five months and will complete the sentence at a drug rehab center.

Prosecutors say she burglarized the same Wasilla house three times to steal money for a drug habit. She was arrested April 2 after the owner of the home confronted her.
