Imposter attorney catches a break on his sentence

The Tenth Circuit has upheld the conviction of Howard Kieffer, who never went to law school or held a law license but hoodwinked a "slew" of federal courts into admitting him to practice. The appeals court remanded to the U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado for a recalculation of his prison term and the restitution he was ordered to pay.
