Ex-army chief still jugged
COLOMBO: A Sri Lankan court rejected an appeal by the ex-army chief and is letting stand his conviction and 30-month jail term for fraud.
Government there isn't exactly grateful for everything Fonseka did to win the civil war...
If there's another one I'll betcha he's sprung.
Three judges on the court of appeal said Friday they were "in total agreement with the reasoning adopted in the main judgment."

A court martial last year found Gen. Sarath Fonseka guilty of bypassing military procedures in purchasing equipment and involving his son-in-law in the dealings.

He was sentenced to an additional three-year term last month for implicating the defense secretary in war crimes during Sri Lanka's civil war.
