Provisional Sentences Given in Watergate Conspiracy Case
Federal Judge Sirica sentenced G. Gordon Liddy to a prison term with a minimum of six years eight months and a $40,000 fine. He granted provisional terms to five others and postponed James W. McCord Jr.’s sentencing for a week after McCord urged private discussion and cited fear for his life. The Watergate case stems from the Democratic National Committee break‑in and bugging in June.
