Quote: Prosecutors recommended a 13-month prison sentence for Stanford’s disgraced former sailing coach Friday..
Vandemoer has admitted to accepting $610,000 in bribes as part of the scheme, although prosecutors have recommended a lower sentence because the former coach did not personally pocket the funds, but rather used it for the team.
Vandemoer’s attorney also submitted a sentencing memo Friday which asked for probation, citing excerpts from more than two dozen letters of support from friends, family and colleagues in the sailing community. The former sailing coach deposited all three checks he received from Singer into two accounts, one for sailing uniforms and equipment, and another for the salary of an assistant coach, his attorney wrote.
John Vandemoer, who has pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit racketeering .... is expected to be sentenced next week
