A Brooklyn father who admitting bribing crooked judge Gerald Garson to the tune of $10,000 was sentenced to three months in jail yesterday for his role in the corruption scandal.
Avraham Levi, 48, will also do 150 hours of community service and five years’ probation following his release, according to the sentence handed down by Brooklyn Supreme Court Justice Jeffrey Berry.
“I wish I’d never given the money,” Levi said yesterday before being sentenced. “Since those days, my life has been destroyed . . . I’m asking for mercy.”
Sigal Levi, who is still fighting her ex-husband over custody of their children, said she was hoping for more jail time.
“I think for the crime he committed and for the pain he created, it’s very little,” she said.
The judge also admonished Avraham Levi for putting up the cash in hopes of cheating his wife in the divorce case.
“She was not going to get fair justice,” Berry said.
