Woodstock Early Bird reported last week on the details of Woodstock businessman Paul Hendler’s plea agreement with the federal government on certain felony charges involving mail fraud and money laundering. In the U.S. District Court plea deal documents we found that Hendler would plead guilty to two of 14 charges, with the other 12 being dropped.
Now, we note that a “Change of Plea” hearing will be held before Judge J Garvan Murtha in U.S. District Court in Brattleboro on Tuesday, May 7th, 2013 at 11am.
While the Rutland Herald reports today that Mr. Hendler is to receive a three month suspended sentence for crimes involving the no-longer-existing JavaPop, Inc., we should clarify that a sentencing hearing has not yet been held.
One of the *possible* sentences, including prison time, might also include or be three years probation.
