Judge may reduce Williams sentence
A federal judge in Chicago indicated a 55 year term for Teamsters President Roy L. Williams will likely be reduced after a medical evaluation. He noted Williams holds a powerful post yet required harsh punishment for a bribery conspiracy involving former Senator Howard Cannon. Final sentencing set for June 27 following a 90 day assessment at Springfield Missouri. Williams, 68, is severely ill with emphysema and appeared in court with oxygen. Williams maintains innocence and will appeal while remaining in his $225000 a year post.
