In 1993, Krikava was sentenced to 5 months in prison, 5 months of home confinement, and 36 months of supervised release for perjury. The President commuted Krikava's five month prison term to time served and removed the condition of 5 months of home confinement; he also reduced the period of supervised release from 36 to 31 months.
