I doubt many would be interested in this, but it's news for my state. Tom Delay has been convicted of money laundering by a jury of his peers.
It took about 5 years to get to trial, a time span that I suspect may have had some political dealings holding things up from both sides.
He could face life in prison. We don't tend to be merciful in Texas when it comes to sentencing, and we fast track enforcement of punishment, but I suspect that there may be some pressure to make this less than a slap on the wrist.
