Berenson sentence upheld
  • Peru's Supreme Court upheld a 20-year prison sentence handed down to American Lori Berenson for collaborating with leftist rebels to seize Congress. Berenson, 32, was convicted in June of terrorist collaboration in a failed bid by the Tupac Amaru Revolutionary Movement to take over Peru's Congress in 1995. She was acquitted of being a member of the rebel group.
    Consequences? For something she did? When did that start?
    Objectively, there was good reason to doubt that Fujimori's constitution-suspended government's prosecution of her was entirely fair. The upheld sentence, by civiilan judges instead of a military tribunal, helps the credibility considerably.

    From what I've read, she sounds like a Junior Commie. If you're gonna be a revolution groupie, don't complain when you get part of the bill for trashing the hotel room.
