Carter commutes Liddy sentence for equity fairness
President Carter reduced G G Liddy’s six year eight month sentence to eight years citing equity with other Watergate convictions. Liddy will be eligible for parole July 9 after serving four years in Allenwood Pa. The action leaves a $40,000 fine in place and does not affect other Watergate cases.
