The Orange County Board of Supervisors on Tuesday will be asked to consider a resolution calling on federal prosecutors to review the plea deal for former Supervisor Andrew Do, who pleaded guilty to bribery and is awaiting sentencing. … UC Irvine Law School [and political science] professor Tony Smith agreed that there’s little chance of overturning the plea agreement. … Smith said it is not unusual for politicians to get lighter sentences “because they always get credit for their service to the people. So even when they do very bad things judges and prosecutors still say, well, they’re still a politician, so somehow or another we should take it easy on them.”
