Facing prison, Astor's son bares private life

NEW YORK (AP) — The son of New York philanthropist Brooke Astor is facing prison for looting his mother's millions — and he's making a surprisingly personal approach to stay free.

Anthony Marshall's sentencing is set for Monday, but he's trying to get a judge to throw out the part of his October conviction that requires at least a year behind bars. His lawyers say any prison time could kill the ailing 85-year-old.

Marshall didn't testify or call even one witness at his five-month-long trial.

Now he's detailing his medical problems, professional accomplishments and sometimes sad childhood in court papers. More than 70 supporters have written to the court.

Prosecutors say Marshall is making a cynical effort to dodge consequences for his crime.
