Scalia’s Death Could Send McDonnell to Jail

Former Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell may be the biggest loser after the death of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, Politico reports.

“Scalia was considered among the most receptive justices to McDonnell’s argument that his conviction on corruption charges improperly relied on the kind of favors that are commonplace on the American political scene… If the court can’t muster five votes in Scalia’s absence to overturn McDonnell’s conviction, the appeals court ruling upholding his sentence is likely to kick in, and he could be sent to prison.”
