More troubles for former Twitter employees continue to surface as now one has been convicted of a serious crime and sentenced on Wednesday in San Francisco, California to 3.5 years in prison, U.S. prosecutors said.All it took for ex-Twitter manager Ahmad Abouammo to abuse his position at the top social media company was a $42,000 watch and a pair of $100,000 wire transfers, to put innocent American at major risk. Now that Elon Musk is in charge and has cleaned house, the company and the country are in a far better position than before, as is becoming evident with each...

I’m a federal criminal defense attorney. The range of prison time the government asked for Roger Stone shocked me as unduly high given the non-violent nature of the underlying crimes. By Caroline Court Roger Stone went to trial and lost. As a result, he’s likely going to be sentenced to some jail time. The question is, how much jail time is appropriate in his case?Federal sentencing has two components. The first is the statutory range (what’s provided for by the statute—e.g., five to 40 years).

China has announced its decision to uphold a North Carolina pastor’s seven-year prison sentence for "organizing illegal border crossings" — a crime more commonly applied to human traffickers — despite his appeal.

After postponing Cao’s hearing several times, a court in China’s Yunnan province announced on July 25 it had decided to uphold the sentence, persecution watching group International Christian Concern reported. The court was “surrounded by a heavy...

CAIRO (Reuters) - An Egyptian court confirmed a 20-year prison sentence against former president Mohamed Mursi on Saturday, judicial sources told Reuters. The sentence was for a conviction arising from the killings of protesters during demonstrations in 2012. It is the first of Mursi's four convictions to reach the end of the judicial process, and he cannot appeal further against it. Twenty-year jail sentences were also confirmed against other senior figures from the then-ruling Muslim Brotherhood, including Mohamed el-Beltagy and Essam el-Erian. The men were convicted in April 2015 on charges including kidnapping, torture and the killings of protesters during...

MIAMI (AP) - A 20-year-old college student who told investigators he was merely trying to get a reaction from President Barack Obama's supporters pleaded guilty Wednesday to posting threatening messages against the president on Facebook. Joaquin Amador Serrapio Jr. could get up to five years in federal prison for pleading guilty to a single count of threatening to kill or harm the president, but likely will get less time, said his attorney Alan Ross. Sentencing is set for Aug. 22 before U.S. District Judge Marcia Cooke.

HE claims to remember little about his role in three brutal Sydney street attacks because he was high on drugs and alcohol but he will have plenty of time to contemplate his crimes in prison. The teenager, now 18, who cannot be named because he was a juvenile at the time of the offences, was yesterday sentenced to 12 years jail in the NSW Supreme Court for the stomping murder of a chef, assaulting a cyclist and the violent robbery of actress Virginia Gay in June 2008. Before being sentenced, the teenager smirked and laughed with onlooking friends as he...
