U.S. Hikers In Iran Sentenced To 8 years in Prison
Two American hikers that were arrested in Iran and already served two years in prison were sentenced to a total of eight years in prison. The men were charged with espionage and illegally entering the country and have 20 days to appeal the court’s decision. Last month the U.S. had hopes that the men would be released soon but that clearly doesn’t seem to be happening anytime soon. The arrest and captivity of the hikers has but a strain on the Iran/American relationship and will most likely continue to do so. Read more about the hikers after the jump. @Julie1205
‘West Memphis Three’ Freed After Serving 17 Years In Prison!
After serving 17 years in prison, the three men known as the “West Memphis three” were released today. The three men were arrest and charged with murdering three 8-year-old boy-scouts and leaving their mutilated bodies in a ditch in May of 1992. One “West Memphis Three” man was sentenced to death while the other two men received sentences of 40 years. Because DNA testing was not available at their 1993 trial, DNA was tested in 2007 and found that there was no evidence that could link the men to the murders so they were re-tried. Read more about the “West Memphis Three” after the jump. @Julie1205
