The Montgomery Advertiser?reports?that, under the terms of the deal, Burkette would pay a $3,000 fine and waive his right to appeal. In return, the prosecution would not seek restitution or demand a particular sentence.
The charge levelled against Burkette stems from his 2015 run for the Montgomery City Council. The 63-year-old Burkette, a Democrat, was accused of depositing just over $3,600 in campaign contributions into his personal bank account or cashing them.
