Former Lincoln County judge sentenced to prison for five years for embezzlement
CHANDLER — Over and over, for a total of 24 times, the disgraced former judge, Craig S. Key, stood in a courtroom for a final time Friday and acknowledged his crimes.
"Guilty," he said to each count of embezzlement, delivery of a forged note and the other offenses.
He then explained simply in a sentence or two what he had done. Afterward, though, given a chance in court to say why, to apologize or to say anything at all, he stayed silent.
Under a plea deal, he was sentenced to five years in prison and five years on probation. He also was ordered to pay $527,734 in restitution.
