Decker jail term cut 12 months
Ex-state representative's cooperation cited by judge
(Winston-Salem Journal) - A federal judge has reduced former state representative Michael Decker's prison sentence from 48 to 36 months, which could result in him being sent to a halfway house.
In an order signed Friday, Judge James C. Dever III of U.S. District Court cited Decker's help in the federal prosecution and conviction of Jim Black, the former speaker of the N.C. House of Representatives.
"Indeed, but for Decker's cooperation, Black might still be in office," Dever, wrote in the order.
