ATLANTA — A former Gwinnett County commissioner was sentenced to just less than three years in prison on federal bribery charges while sentencing was postponed for a Hall County businessman involved in the scheme. Shirley Lasseter was sentenced Wednesday to 33 months and three years of supervised release after pleading guilty in May. Lasseter’s son, John Fanning, and another man, Hall County businessman Carl “Skip” Cain, were also charged.
