Former Cendant Exec Requests Probation
- Share via
Former Cendant Corp. Vice Chairman E. Kirk Shelton, who faces 12 to 15 years in prison, asked U.S. District Judge Alvin Thompson to impose a term of probation and community service for his accounting fraud conviction.
Shelton deserves leniency because he is devoted to his family, works in the community and has a reputation for integrity, his lawyers said in court papers filed Tuesday in Hartford, Conn.
Shelton, who is scheduled to be sentenced the week of July 18, was convicted of overstating $286 million in earnings at CUC International Inc., which merged in 1997 with HFS Inc. to form Cendant.
