A Los Angeles federal judge sentenced the accounting manager of the Jewish Orphans Home of Southern California to six months in jail Tuesday for falsifying a federal income tax return.
U.S. District Judge Edward Rafeedie imposed the sentence on Lawrence Ross, 36, of Culver City, after Ross pleaded guilty to claiming that more than $8,000 in federal income taxes had been withheld by the Jewish Orphans Home and the Jewish Federation Council of Los Angeles in 1981 when the actual amount was just over $2,000.
