The Rev. Timothy Kane, convicted of stealing money from the now-discontinued Angel Fund to help the poor of Detroit, was sentenced Monday to 12 months in jail served over 5 years during the months of June and December plus about 8 weekends.
Kane was also sentenced to pay $131,400 in restitution.
Kane begins serving his sentence Tuesday through December in the Wayne County Jail.
A Wayne County Circuit Court jury found Kane guilty in October of six counts related to theft from the charity fund for poor people, including embezzlement between $1,000 and $20,000.
Kane, 58, testified that he didn’t steal Angel Fund monies, even though he had signed a confession to police after his arrest in February. Kane said he signed the confession because of confusion related to his diabetes.
