State Sen. Wright Gets 90 Days In Jail For Perjury

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- State Sen. Rod Wright has been sentenced to 90 days in Los Angeles County jail for lying about his legal residence.

Wright was also ordered Friday to complete 1,500 hours of community service. He will be on probation for three years.
