PITTSBURGH, APA prosecutor on Friday urged a federal judge to sentence "Dance Moms" star Abby Lee Miller to prison instead of probation for bankruptcy fraud. Melucci faces an uphill battle to convince U.S. District Judge Joy Flowers Conti that Miller deserves two to 2 1/2 years in prison. But Melucci said the law allows Conti to sentence Miller based on the amount of money she intended to avoid repaying. He said the only reason for Miller to hide income was to avoid repaying everything she owed. "No one would rob a bank if he knew it had no money in it," Melucci argued.
