Hi Sue,
I'm not sure if the sentences for contempt are the same in each state.
Probably not. But I think Susan McDougal spent 18 months in jail on the
comtempt charge. Her lawyers are trying to get some consideration for
reducing her two year sentence on the fraud conviction. I also read that
she might face more charges in the future relating to Whitewater. If
Starr decides to put more heat on her he probably will be able to do so.
I think it's a shame that McDougal died at such an young age. (57) His
personal physician said that in spite of his medical problems he should
have had a life expectancy of 77 instead of 57.
Bill
