Judge Walton orders I. Lewis “Scooter” Libby to go directly to jail pending appeals. More when stories hit the wire.
***Update***
The federal judge presiding over the trial of I. Lewis “Scooter” Libby today ordered Vice President Cheney’s former chief of staff to report to prison within weeks to begin serving a 30-month sentence for lying to federal investigators about his role in disclosing a covert CIA officer’s identity to the media.
Walton will let Scooter self-report, which means that Libby won’t have to frog march if he doesn’t want to. Oh well.
