Kozlowski prepares to do time

Kozlowski, along with former Tyco CFO Mark Swartz, was found guilty in June of stealing hundreds of millions of dollars from the manufacturing conglomerate. Peter Henning, Wayne State professor of law, says Kozlowski could receive a sentence of as little as 1 to 3 years or as much as 8.3 to 25 years when he faces sentencing on Monday. Henning added that changes to federal sentencing guidelines, which calibrate the sentence to the size of loss created by the crime, have set the parameters for the lengthy sentences, but that public sentiment has played an important role as well.
