  Correction. Solano will be on 9 months house arrest after jail time, not 7. The judge misspoke, then clarified.

  Judge stops #gregsolano and asks why he didn't initially fess up to selling new items, not just used. #Solano says 'I just got greedy'

  Chandler says SF county not likely to get $ back from Solano judging by his past financial history. Called a gambling 'addict'

  As a Sheriff he was in charge of people arresting others for the same thing. How many lives did he ruin in the process. #Solano

  Defense for #gregsolano says it would cost taxpayers 1.5 times as much as #Solano embezzled if he spent 1yr in jail (not prison) at $100/day
