Piazza- Personal Weakness, Can't Look Dad In The Eye

The Times Leader is reporting that Jeffrey Piazza was sentenced to 6 months in prison after pleading guilty in December to accepting kickbacks.

Jeffrey Piazza, 33, told U.S. Judge James Munley he knew what he did was wrong, and expressed sorrow that he has ruined the name of his father, August Piazza, a former school superintendent.

"The hardest thing was for me to look my dad in the eye and tell him what I had done.” Piazza told Munley just before the judge sentenced him to six months in federal prison.

During the proceedings Anthony Trombetta of Intellacom Inc. was identified as the person who paid the kickbacks.
