Helms given suspended term and $2000 fine in perjury case
Former CIA Chief Richard Helms received a suspended two year prison term and a $2000 fine after pleading no contest to two misdemeanor charges for failing to testify fully to Congress about CIA covert meddling in Chile. Judge Barrington Parker condemned the act as disgraceful while noting no one is above the law. Helms left court saying he does not feel disgraced. He cited secrecy oaths and national security in explaining his decision to avoid a full trial.
