Former New York Giants star Mark Ingram will be sentenced on Tuesday. He is facing up to 10 years in prison for bank fraud and money laundering. Ingram laundered $200,000 believed to be from drug deals and cashed $300,000 worth of fraudulent checks, which he plead guilty to in 2005. Wow three years to sentence someone, is our legal system getting more efficient or what? Apparently during that time he tried to revoke his plea and hired and fired at least three court appointed lawyers.
Ingram was a member of the 1991 Super Bowl winning Giants and is best remembered for catching a key pass on the way to New York’s 20-19 win.
Watch out Mark, because the popo are on your tail!

UPDATE: He asked for leniency and the judge gave him 92 months (7 years, 8 months) in jail with up to five years of probation and $252,000 in restitution fines. He had been facing a maximum of 10 years in the slammer, so I guess it could have been worse. Too bad his reformist claims did not match up with his rap sheet. (Seven convictions over 23 years)
