'If convicted, I will still serve?'
Even if he is convicted of a felony, State Rep. Scott Jensen can remain in office and collect his salary until sentencing, Madison's WKOW-TV reports. That's based on a 1976 attorney general's opinion.
Of course, Jensen has not been convicted, and even if he is, he presumably would appeal. It is not clear what happens during an appeal, but it seems logical that he would remain in office. Another option would be to resign if convicted, but he doesn't seem a likely candidate to do that.
Yet another possibility, of course, is that he will be acquitted. Sometimes what goes on in the jury room has little in common with what you've read in the newspapers. But if you bet on acquittal, get some odds.

Is there a timeline for when he shows a little remorse?
