United States First Circuit

In a case in which a former state senator pleaded guilty to federal charges of attempted extortion based on her acceptance of money offered in exchange for her favorable influence in her official capacity, the sentence is affirmed against a contention that the district court judge's statements in three different regards in support of the sentence made it improper.
