The agreement calls for Melaku to serve 25 years in prison. Judge Gerald Bruce Lee accepted the plea, and Melaku is scheduled for sentencing on April 27.

Could be a new ABC reality show called “Fun with Muslims”.... they could even put it on after “Good Christian Bi%$#es” (ABC has since technically renamed it GCB from what I hear)
