   California state Sen. Rod Wright has been sentenced to 90 days   
   in Los Angeles County jail for lying about his legal residence.   
      
   Wright was also ordered Friday to complete 1,500 hours of   
   community service. He will be on probation for three years.   
      
   Wright was convicted of perjury in January for lying about his   
   residence in the first of three unrelated cases against   
   lawmakers that cast a shadow over the Legislature.   
      
   Wright said he moved into an Inglewood property so he could run   
   in 2008 to represent the 25th Senate District, but jurors found   
   he actually lived outside the district. Because of   
   redistricting, he currently represents the 35th Senate District.   
      
   Judge Kathleen Kennedy said the case was a byproduct of term   
   limits which send career politicians scrambling to seek new   
   offices.
