Sami Gets Wammied!

Finally! A Judge gets it right! Somebody say Amen!

" ... on Monday Judge James Moody, according to the St. Petersburg Times, “shocked the courtroom when he ignored the recommendation of prosecutors and defense attorneys for a lower sentence,” and slapped al-Arian with the maximum. "

Sami al-Arian was a huge local story down here in central Florida. The sad thing is about half of the University of South Florida's academics supported him. My daughter attended this school; she says some of the Professors see him as a hero. Thank GOD for the other half!

The Judge did his part. Unfortunately, the prosecutor didn't have much of a case. Five years total jail time followed by deportation isn't good enough. Al-Arian is getting off too lightly for me.

But, the bright side is that the judge gave him the max.
