Embattled Judy Wong’s Sentencing Delayed ‘til Aug 24 BY TERRY MILLER
Former Temple City Mayor Judy Wong was told she had another month of freedom before sentencing on the Bribery and perjury charges Thursday. A judge, filling in for Judge Schnegg, postponed the embattled former mayor and council member’s sentencing. Heavy case loads and state cutbacks may have been partially responsible for the delay. Wong pled no contest in May to multiple charges of bribery, solicitation of bribery and perjury involving developer Randy Wang. It was expected that sentencing would be pronounced
Thursday morning but was re-scheduled for Aug. 24 at 8:30 am. Judge Patricia Schnegg was unavailable to tend to the case which was the reason behind the delay in sentencing..Surrounded by family and friends Wong said “I’m calm and confident.” Temple City School Board Member Joe Walker, who has been strong and vocal opponent to Judy Wong was also in the courtroom for the proceedings. Wong will be in downtown Los Angeles next month when Judge Patricia Schnegg is able to officiate. She could be sentenced to 16 months in prison.
