On Tuesday, Judge Karlton rejected the prosecutor's bid for a low end, guidelines sentence of 5 months prison and 5 months home detention for a defendant who had pled guilty to a conspiracy to smuggle tortoises from Asia. Instead, the court imposed a sentence of probation with 6 months home detention, community service, and a $2,000 fine. KCRA story. Congratulations to AFD Linda Harter!
