The sentencing of former GOP Assembly Speaker Scott Jensen has been set for May 16 at 1:30 p.m.

Jensen was convicted on three felonies and one misdemeanor count of misconduct in office earlier this month. He's set to leave office today, according to a resignation letter he sent last week.

Court officials say sentencing for Sherry Schultz and former GOP state Rep. Bonnie Ladwig will be held on the same day. Schultz, a former legislative aide, will be sentenced at 9:15 a.m. on one felony count. Ladwig, the former assistant majority leader who pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor but was not called to testify against Jensen and Schultz, is to be sentenced at 8:15 a.m.

Former Assembly Majority Leader Steve Foti's sentencing is scheduled for a week from today, March 27 at 1:30 p.m. Foti pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor as part of a plea bargain and testified at Jensen's trial.
