Minneapolis, MN: No jail for man who threw acid on woman

No jail for man who threw acid on woman...man who threw battery acid in his ex-girlfriend's face last year won't spend time behind bars if he remains law-abiding. Before getting a stayed, 15-month prison sentence Wednesday, Jarso Yohannes Adem, 29, tried to withdraw his guilty plea to second-degree assault with a dangerous weapon, a felony. He claimed he was not aware his conviction could cause him to be deported back to Ethiopia. The Minnesota Court of Appeals this week ordered that a man could withdraw his plea to[ simple robbery ] because he was not told of deportation risks..Through an interpreter, Adem expressed no remorse for the crime, saying his ex repeatedly lied to him.
