Ali Saleh Kahlah al-Marri may only wind up with less than 5 years behind bars
Eight years 4 months. That's the sentence a federal judge handed down to a man called a "sleeper agent" for Al Qaeda.
Ali Saleh Kahlah al-Marri could have gotten 15 years in prison on a charge of "conspiracy to provide material support and resources to a foreign terrorist organization". U.S. District Court Judge Michael Mihm decided to give credit for the 71 months al-Marri spent in a Navy brig, and time held as a material witness. In addition, Mihm credited him with 9 more months, to make up for the harsh treatment of al-Marri while he was in custody.
If the US prison system also gives him credit for the time held before and after the brig, defense attorneys say he may only wind up with less than 5 years behind bars.
