NEW ORLEANS -- Making clear that she thought the sentence was a light one, a Louisiana judge Thursday formally imposed a 20-year prison sentence on former NFL star Darren Sharper, who last week was sentenced by a federal judge to 18 years and four months in a drug and rape case with victims in four states.Defense attorney Billy Gibbens said that the two sentences are essentially the same, when credit for time served and other factors are considered. The sentence follows Sharpers guilty pleas in state and federal courts in New Orleans, and pleas of guilty or no contest to similar charges in Arizona, California and Nevada -- all the result of a multi-jurisdiction plea deal that once called for a sentence of about nine years.Early this year, U.S. District Judge Jane Triche Milazzo rejected that sentence as too light. She imposed the 18-year, four-month sentence last week.In state court on Thursday, Judge Karen Herman made clear she thought two decades was a relatively light punishment for the fallen NFL star, calling his behavior such an epic disappointment.Thursdays second sentencing hearing was again punctuated by tearful testimony from victims. One who said she was determined from the time she realized she had been raped in 2013 to see him prosecuted and see him branded as a serial rapist and a sex offender. She added that, for months, she woke up screaming in the middle of the night because of the ordeal.Another said she forgave Sharper, despite suffering through depression and fears that have caused her to miss work and withdraw emotionally from people who care about her. Im afraid no one understands, she said.Herman pointedly told Sharper that had he been tried by a jury and convicted on his original charges, including aggravated rape, the sentence would have been much harsher. She accepted the 20-year sentence only after consulting with attorneys and victims. She said the deal would help bring closure to the victims.Sharper again apologized to his victims and their families and continued to ask for forgiveness, at one point telling the judge, I am not a monster.Sentenced to nine years already in Arizona, Sharper still faces formal sentencing in California and Nevada. He is expected to serve his sentence in federal custody.Sharper had two co-defendants in the Louisiana cases. Former restaurant worker Erik Nunez and former St. Bernard Parish Sheriffs Deputy Branden Licciardi are set for sentencing in October on related charges.Sharper was named All-Pro six times and chosen for the Pro Bowl five times during a career that included stints with the Green Bay Packers and Minnesota Vikings. He played in two Super Bowls, one with the Packers as a rookie and one with New Orleans Saints when they won in 2010.He ended a 14-year career in 2011. He was working as an NFL network analyst when women began telling police in several cities similar stories of blacking out while drinking with him and waking up groggy to find they had been sexually abused.

PHOENIX -- Brock Stewart gets another chance.The Dodgers 24-year-old right hander is set to make his fifth start of the season Saturday when the Los Angeles Dodgers continue their road trip at the Arizona Diamondbacks.After two recent solid starts, Brock has earned the opportunity for another start, manager Dave Roberts said.Also, Stewart had been the designated backup, or long reliever in a couple recent games, but didnt have to be used, Roberts pointed out.Stewart (1-2, 6.55 ERA) replaces scheduled starter Bud Norris (6-10, 5.05). Stewart and Norris could be in the picture as long relievers in the postseason. The Dodgers top three postseason starters are expected to be Clayton Kershaw, Rich Hill and Kenta Maeda.The final two spots in the rotation for the regular season may continue to be in flux on a team that has starters Scott Kazmir, Brett Anderson, Brandon McCarthy and Hyun-Jin Ryu on the disabled list.The Dodgers split the first eight games on their season-long 10-game road trip. They evened the series Friday night in a bit of a strange game in which they came up with only five hits while their pitchers issued seven walks. They won thanks to a pair of unearned runs.Diamondbacks manager Chip Hale lamented a botched double-play attempt. The Dodgers put two runners on base in the fourth when Adrian Gonzalez singled and Josh Reddick walked. Howie Kendrick hit a grounder to short, where Chris Owings retired Reddick on a force play, but second baseman Jean Segura threw the ball away attemppting an inning-ending double play.dddddddddddd Gonzalez scored, giving the Dodgers their second unearned run and a 3-1.Ultimately, this was the decisive run.Unfortunately, the run that cost us was throwing away on a double-play ball. You cant make those mistakes in a game like this, Hale said.Also, We left a lot of guys on base, Hale said. Eleven to be precise. The Dodgers stranded only five.The Dodgers used six relievers behind starter Kenta Maeda, who acknowledged he wasnt at his best.My command was off, Maeda said through his interpreter. I wasnt able to get into my groove. I put a lot of pressure on the position players to pick up the slack.We cant seem to solve him, Hale said of Maeda.It was a grind for him, Roberts said of Maeda. He still found a way, as he seemingly always does, to give us a chance to win. Thats a sign of a great competitor.Kenley Jansen gave up a triple to Chris Owings in the ninth. Owings scored on a sacrifice fly by Paul Goldschmidt, but Jansen got Jake Lamb to ground out to earn his career-best 45th save.Zach Greinke (12-7) took the loss for the Diamondbacks, though he only gave up only four hits and three runs (one earned) in six innings.The Dodgers are 11-6 vs. the D-backs this season and 39-16 since the start of 2014. According to STATS LLC, it is the highest win total of any series in this span (St. Louis is 38-19 vs. Milwaukee). ' ' '
