Cuban Spy Seeks Reduced Sentence

A federal judge in Miami, Florida will decided whether or not to approve a reduction of the twenty-year sentence for a convicted Cuban spy. A United States court of appeals threw out last year’s sentencing of life in prison as unjustifiably harsh, and changed fifty-year-old Antonio Guerrero’s prison term to twenty years. Guerrero is a member of the “Cuban Five,” who were all convicted in 2001 of spying on the United States.

United States District Judge Joan Lenard has set the hearing for Tuesday. If Lenard approves, Guerrero would serve about nine more years in prison. The Cuban Five are considered to be heroes in their homeland.
