SACRAMENTO, Calif. — One day after federal prosecutors asked for an eight-month prison sentence for Sherri Papini for her 2016 kidnap hoax, her attorney asked a judge to give the 40-year-old Redding-area woman a one-month sentence in custody with seven more in home detention.
Sacramento attorney William Portanova filed the recommendation Wednesday in federal court in Sacramento in advance of a hearing Monday at which Senior U.S. District Judge William B. Shubb is scheduled to sentence Papini for orchestrating an elaborate fake kidnapping.
Portanova asked Shubb to follow an earlier recommendation by the U.S. Probation Office that would allow Papini to spend one month in custody and seven additional months in “an intensely supervised period of home detention.”
