Sweetheart Plea Bargain Deal For Ramona Cunningham
Plea Agreement Is A Miscarriage Of Justice
Cunningham Pleads Guilty To 8 of 30 Indictments
(Remembering Tesdall Was Convicted of 29 Counts)
''The ... case will go down in history as one of the most significant public corruption or public fraud cases in Iowa,'' U.S. Attorney Matthew G. Whitaker said during a news conference. ''This case demonstrates how not to operate an organization that receives federal funds.''

Cunningham pleaded guilty to eight of the 30 federal charges she had initially faced. Prosecutors say they'll argue for her to spend 7 to 10 years behind bars.
