Title:

Home Builder Gets Prison

Description:

A man was sentenced to prison recently for violating a state lien that stemmed from a law designed to protect housing projects and the building of them in the state of New York. The defendant had asked for leniency in the judgment and his lawyer had suggested that putting the man away in jail would make it impossible for him to come up with the eighty two thousand dollars awarded in a civil judgment against the defendant. The money was awarded due to the fact that the defendant hadn't paid his contractors for work that was done on a house.
