DETROIT (AP)
Federal prosecutors say a judge should consider other acts of alleged corruption when he sentences former Detroit City Councilwoman Monica Conyers.
Conyers returns to court Wednesday for her sentence for conspiring to take bribes for a sludge contract.
The U.S. attorney's office says Conyers should also be punished for alleged schemes aired during the recent trial of ex-aide Sam Riddle. It ended in a mistrial.
The government says that would boost Conyers' sentencing guidelines to 46 months to 57 months in prison. In a court document unsealed Monday, prosecutors say she deserves a "substantial sentence."
