Former Italian Prime Minister Berlusconi Gets 4 Years For Tax Evasion.

A court in Italy has convicted former Italian Premier Silvio Berlusconi of tax fraud and sentenced him to four years in prison. 
In Italy, cases must pass two levels of appeal before the verdicts are final. Berlusconi is expected to appeal. 
The conviction Friday was the media mogul's first; other criminal probes and trials had ended in acquittal or were thrown out for statute of limitations. The 76-year-old media mogul wasn't in the courtroom for the verdict.
