The Associated Press this morning has reported that:
A court clerk says a former Beijing vice mayor in charge of overseeing Olympic construction projects has been given a death sentence for corruption.
The Intermediate People's Court in Hengshui, a city outside Beijing, ordered the death sentence Saturday after finding Liu Zhihua guilty of taking bribes.
But a court clerk says the sentence was "suspended" for two years.
The reprieve means if Liu shows good behavior his sentence will be commuted to life imprisonment.
