Fayette County Judge Steve Leskinen sentenced 53-year-old Mark Morrison on Friday. Morrison will also spend eight years on probation.
Morrison was convicted in January, but first appeared in Leskinen's courtroom on a gurney in November, claiming to be mentally incompetent. At that time, the judge sided with experts who believed Morrison might have been faking. On Friday, the judge sentenced Morrison despite claims his health is failing due to a circulatory problem and a bacterial infection.
Leskinen says the sentence was warranted because Morrison shows no remorse for stealing the money from two elderly couples he represented.
