Judge sentences former Alaska lawmaker in bribery case

"I don't believe I received a fair trial last fall, which is why I did not prevail in this courtroom," he told Sedwick. "I was stunned when I learned after the trial you are married to one of my biggest personal and political enemies from my years as a legislator."

After sentencing, Kohring said Allen betrayed him in his court testimony and that he did nothing wrong.

"My conscience is absolutely clear," he said.

He plans to appeal but was denied a request to stay out of prison during that process. Sedwick ordered him to turn himself in no later than June 30.
