  I was working late at the Lisa McPherson Trust and Tom Padgett
called.  He said that he was sentenced today to 5 years in prison.  He
said that he was taken into the judges chambers and offered leniency
if he signed papers that would gag his speech, which he refused to do.

   Tom said he had an attorney with him at sentencing.
