ALACHUA COUNTY, Fla. (WCJB) - Former Third Circuit State Attorney Jeff
Siegmeister pleaded guilty to four counts of conspiracy and fraud in his federal
corruption case.



On Tuesday, court records show he changed his plea to guilty on charges related
to taking bribes in exchange for reduced prosecution as well as other charges,
including filing a false tax return.



Siegmeister now faces a maximum of 48 years in prison and up to $1 million in
fines.





There is no word on when his sentence will be issued.
 His accused partner in
crime, Dixie County Attorney Michael O’Steen, is scheduled to go to trial later
this spring.
