remember jury duty?
Do you guys remember when I was on jury duty last fall? I just found out that the defendant entered a plea of no contest this morning. The judge accepted and she got 5 years with time served. She has another 10 months to finish out her sentence and then she'll be deported back to Russia. Kinda anti-climatic.

Well, she had 3 trials and 3 hung juries, including the one I was on (the last one). I just got an email from one of my ex-fellow jurors. She went to the courthouse to observe the hearing. Said the reporter got the time wrong - the defendant has to serve 18 months, not 10. She'll be released Dec. 31, 2009 and immediately deported.

Why would they require the individual to serve a sentence in a domestic prison if immediate deportation is to follow. Is the criminal justice system just using taxpayer money to prove a point? Let the Russian authorities apply their legal system/penalties and deal with the perp...
