NYC Heir, 89, Sent To prison In Astor Theft Case

‎06-21-2013 06:18 PM

NEW YORK – An 89-year-old heir to a famous fortune was headed for a prison Friday after years of fighting his conviction on charges of plundering millions of dollars from his philanthropist mother, Brooke Astor.

A judge ordered Anthony Marshall to start serving his one- to three-year term. Marshall was sentenced in 2009 but had been free on bail during an appeal. He lost a series of requests to get a new trial and to stay out of prison because of his failing health.

"I take no pleasure in following my duties," said Manhattan state Supreme Court Justice A. Kirke Bartley said, who had sentenced Marshall to the minimum for his conviction.
