Her attorney said he&#8217;s concerned that she won&#8217;t get proper care in prison and that she&#8217;s dealing with pain from surgeries that didn&#8217;t go well.<\/p>\n<p>Federal sentencing guidelines call for a minimum of 17 and a half years, but the judge said he plans to hand down a sentence that&#8217;s &#8220;substantially below&#8221; that. He also said he will not remand her Thursday.<\/p>\n<p>After both sides presented their arguments, Nadine Menendez tearfully addressed the court. She told Judge Sidney H. Stein that Bob Menendez was like a savior following her divorce from a previous abusive relationship, and that she blindly did what he asked. She said she never imagined someone with his power and rank putting her in a position to do something illegal.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>She added she takes full accountability, saying, &#8220;I was wrong about my husband.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Bob Menendez <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/newyork\/news\/sen-bob-menendez-resigns-guilty-federal-bribery-charges\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">resigned from the U.S. Senate<\/a><\/span> weeks after <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/bob-menendez-trial-bribery-verdict\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">being found guilty for his role in the bribery scheme<\/a><\/span>, and he is currently <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/newyork\/news\/bob-menendez-reports-to-prison-for-sentence\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">serving an 11-year sentence<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n<h2>&#8220;Nadine Menendez and Sen.
