Stans Fined For Five Violations In Watergate Probe
Former Commerce Secretary Maurice H. Stans was fined 8000 dollars for five admitted violations of federal election laws. U.S. District Judge John Hawes Smith said the penalty serves justice without jail. Stans faced potential sentences of up to a year per count, and the judge noted Rehabilitation was not a major factor while deterrence had already been achieved. The case links to Goodyear and Olympic torch fundings and to the Watergate burglars.
