NEW YORK (AP) -- A year and a half after his Homeland Security nomination
sank over ethics questions, former New York City Police Commissioner Bernard
Kerik pleaded guilty Friday to charges of accepting tens of thousands of
dollars in gifts while he was a top city official.
Kerik was convicted on a pair of misdemeanors in a deal that spared him any
jail time. He instead was ordered to pay $221,000 in fines at the 10-minute
hearing.
