Jesse Jackson Jr. and Sandi Jackson: The Jackson’s plead guilty to purchasing a variety of personal items, including Bruce Lee memorabilia, a $43,000 Rolex watch and a mink cashmere cape with campaigns funds. Both will serve federal prison terms for defrauding his campaign.
While both were sentenced to serve prison time, Jesse Jackson will serve first allowing Sandi to remain at home with their two girls. Once Jackson’s sentence of 30 months has been completed, he will become their children’s sole caregiver while his wife serves 18 months.
The couple will also have to pay $22,000 in restitution as well as a $750,000 forfeiture combined for their crimes.
Sadly, the children will suffer due to the separation from their father and then immediately, their mother.
Jesse Jackson will begin his sentence the end of November.
