You saw him in court today for one of the first times.

What was that like to see him? Brian Walsh's mother with nothing to say as she left federal courts. Her son, Brian Walsh, appearing in court, not in connection with the murder of his wife for which he is charged, rather to be sentenced for his involvement in a multi-year art fraud.

It is a bit unusual to be facing both federal and state charges and have those federal charges or the state charges go to sentencing.

Walsh and in a neural court Tuesday, learning his fate after pleading guilty to crime, sending around two Andy Warhol paintings. All this- I have a hat, so I have a hat, and some cutting shoes. Separate from this, Walsh facing charges. He killed his wife on Walsh on New Year's Day, then lied to police about her whereabouts. Prosecutors in this case accuse Walsh of dismembering and disposing her body. He remains in jail on those charges. Now, as for this art fraud case, Walsh is accused of convincing a friend in South Korea to let him sell the friend's two Warhol paintings, the art valued at hundreds of thousands of dollars. Walsh, though, accused of selling two fake versions of Warhol's shadows for $80,000. That prompted an FBI investigation into Walsh, a guilty plea on this, and ultimately, Tuesday's sentencing of three years and one month in prison.

It gives the court, now this is a federal court, but it gives the government the chance to hold him in the event that there are problems with respect to the prosecution for the murder of his wife.
