NEW YORK - Yoko OnoÂ’s former driver, accused of trying to blackmail the widow of John Lennon for $2 million, pleaded guilty Friday to reduced charges and was sentenced to 60 days in jail.
Koral Karsan, 50, pleaded guilty to attempted grand larceny in the third degree, admitting he threatened to embarrass Ono unless she gave him “more than $3,000.”
His attorneys said that since the illegal immigrant already has been in jail 60 days, he can be transferred from a city jail cell to federal immigration custody.
