In a sentence that was seen to be at best over-zealous and at worst racist, a judge in the frontier region of Elias Pi?a condemned Haitian immigrant Luis Nelson Gasso to a 10-year prison term for having stolen two salamis and a radio worth RD$300. The 19-year-old man had his sentence reduced yesterday to one year by the court of appeals. As he has already served over nine months in jail, he should be released in a couple of months? time.
