Celis sentenced to 1 year, headed to appeal
Judge orders restitution, likely $1.35M, sets appeal bond at $700K

Bailiff Dave Matson handcuffs Mauricio Celis on Thursday before escorting him to jail after Celis’ sentencing at the Nueces County

a jury convicted Celis of 14 counts of falsely holding himself out as a lawyer. Yikes. Considering that nearly everyone involved in determing his sentence is a lawyer, his punishment is going to exceed that of a serial child rapist.
