Former House Speaker Sal DiMasi got the news today he could leave a federal prison in North Carolina after serving five years out of an eight-year sentence. DiMasi was found guilty of corruption charges for taking a kickback. He was granted a compassionate release due to deteriorating health. DiMasi has battled both cancer of the esophagus and the prostate and has trouble eating solid food. His wife Debbie, a vocal advocate for compassionate release, joined Jim, along with attorney Nancy Gertner, to discuss the 69-page ruling handed down by U.S District Court Judge Mark L. Wolf.
