Another blow against Skynet as Cromartie is defeated at last!

Back in December of 2008, when we were discussing the evil Terminator who went by the name "Cromartie," I had posted this in the thread on ratings for The Sarah Connor Chronicles:

Sure enough, from my local newspaper:

... Cromartie, the city's longest-serving council member, will resign his post and go to prison, according to a plea agreement filed late last week in U.S. District Court of South Carolina....
....

While Cromartie could face 25 years in prison, the plea agreement says the "appropriate sentence" is 12 months and one day, which could be reduced to a 10-month prison term. No sentencing date has been set.
....

Cromartie, 64, agreed to plead guilty to tax evasion and two counts of structuring money transactions to evade reporting requirements, according to documents filed in federal court.

He also agreed to a punishment deal, including:

- A prison sentence of 12 months, plus one day

- Paying $58,075 in taxes owed

- Resigning from City Council

- Forfeiting his law license

- Taking a lie detector test

- Cooperating with law enforcement in any investigations related to his case

I suspect... he'll be back.
