(AP) -- Marion Jones was sentenced Friday to 6 months in jail for lying about using a fraud and ste-roids, despite beseeching the judge that she perhaps not be separated from her two young kids "even for a brief period of time." "I request you to be as merciful as an individual may be," mentioned Jones, who cried on her behalf husband's neck after she was sentenced. The disgraced former Olympic champion was ordered to submit March 1-1 to start her phrase.
