Overview
- A jury convicted Fort Bend County Judge KP George earlier this year on two counts of money laundering for allegedly moving campaign funds into personal accounts.
- George was suspended from his county judge duties after the felony verdict and faces a judge-decided sentence that could range from probation to prison time.
- Defense attorneys asked the court to delay the scheduled sentencing so the misrepresentation-of-identity trial next month can proceed first.
- Prosecutors say probation is a likely outcome but told reporters they may ask any probation to include substantial time in the Fort Bend County Jail.
- The case centers on alleged transfers totaling more than $46,000, George denies wrongdoing, and he retains the right to appeal once punishment is imposed.
