Hes remorseful, and hes tired of humiliating his family, and hes tired of this. Reporter his Attorney Says ye just wants to get on with his life. He was sentenced to five years for taking bribes from undercover agents. Prosecutors had asked for eight years but yee asked for leniency citing years of service, accepting responsibility for his crimes and his wifes help. Friends came out to show their support.

Reporter the judge admonished yee saying he abused the publics trust, pointed to his role in a gun running conspiracy calling it hypocritical given yees stance on gun control. He pled guilty in july.
