Decker reports to prison


Michael Decker reports to a South Carolina prison today.

The former state representative, who admitted taking more than $63,000 in cash and campaign checks from former House Speaker Jim Black, was assigned to a federal prison in Bennettsville, S.C.

He was sentenced to four years, but prosecutors have asked for a reduction based on his cooperation. He could also get time off for good behavior.

Decker said he does not expect a judge to be lenient.

"My expectations are not high that anything will happen," he said. (W-SJ)
