BALCO Lawyer Gets 30-Month Prison Term
The winds shifted Thursday for Troy Ellerman, the lawyer who leaked grand jury transcripts from athletes testifying in the BALCO steroids probe and who got a 30-month sentence as his reward. Last month, Judge Jeffrey White -- irked that Ellerman had not only leaked the transcripts but repeatedly lied about it -- had refused to accept Ellerman's plea deal because he felt the sentencing range of 15 to 24 months was too lenient.
