Former Charleston SC Lawmaker Kohn Sentenced to Probation and House Arrest for Mail Fraud-Insurance Fraud Conviction
Former state lawmaker Bob Kohn was sentenced in a Charleston, South Carolina court to five years of probation on February 11, 2011 for his conviction relating to an insurance fraud – mail fraud scheme. Prosecutors had urged three years of prison time for Kohn, but U.S. District Court Judge Patrick Michael Duffy departed from suggested sentencing guidelines, and, in addition to probation, the defendant must also pay about $40,000 in restitution, and faces a period of home confinement and electronic monitoring. Judge Duffy relied on various factors in his decision to grant a downward departure from the sentencing guidelines and not to send Kohn to prison. Kohn’s lawyer had raised issues of age and health, Kohn’s charity work and “family considerations” in an extensive downward departure motion.
