Prison Sentence for Plumbers Chieftain Tightens Nixon Era Tale
Legit Krogh Jr head of the White House plumbers was sentenced to six months in prison for the burglary of Daniel Ellsberg's psychiatrist. He is the first top White House staffer jailed. Krogh, 34, expressed remorse saying the act represented an official government action. The judge noted his eloquent statement but said jail was warranted. Krogh will serve six months with two years on probation. He led the plumbers unit that later broke into Ellsberg's psychiatrist's Beverly Hills office. Krogh pleaded guilty to violating a civil rights statute, facing up to ten years and a $10,000 fine. He said President Nixon directed expansion of the unit to cover leaks, claiming no direct instruction to break in. The case marks the first conviction in the Fielding break-in tied to the Pentagon Papers affair.
