Hathaway's attorney has told a judge that probation and community service would be appropriate. But federal prosecutors want a year to 18 months in prison. They have detailed the many steps that Hathaway took to conceal assets that could have been used to pay her mortgage.
The scandal led to Hathaway's resignation in January and allowed Gov. Rick Snyder to appoint a new justice to the Supreme Court.
