It was only a matter of time. They went through the charade of "justice" and now begins show thrower's gradual release from prison. A federal appeals court in Baghdad Monday reduced his sentence from three years to one. To include time served? He was found guilty of assaulting a foreign head of state on an official visit to Iraq, which carried with it a sentence of 15 years. Attempted assault is 1-5 years. So although he was found guilty of the more serious charge he was given the most minimal sentence under the lesser charge. Guess those 25 lawyers he had in court with him were worth something - a month a piece.
