The case against Anand Jon was not only there in California, it was there in different parts of America, like New York and Texas also. In California, he was found guilty and sentenced to 59 years in prison. California was the first place where his trial was held, after that only he was taken to other places to face the trial there.
When they brought him for trial in New York and Texas, he pleaded guilty for his crimes, so they gave him lenient sentence there. After all when he is already serving 59 years in jail in one place then what is the point in giving him another lengthy sentence in another place also. Not only that, the courts also did not want to make the young women to testify again, because that will cause a lot of mental agony to them. As part of the plea deals in New York and Texas, Anand Jon was also given some documents which he can use in his appeal in California.
Shashi Abraham and Sanjana Jon were saying that in New York, Anand Jon was found innocent of 48 out of 49 charges of rape. That day I was seeing a news item in which she was saying like that.
No it is not like that, Anand Jon entered a plea deal, he was not found innocent. From wikipedia, I am copy pasting a sentence about plea deal:
"A plea bargain allows both parties to avoid a lengthy criminal trial and may allow criminal defendants to avoid the risk of conviction at trial on a more serious charge."
The wise thing for Anand Jon to do was to plead guilty in California also, because they might have given him a lenient sentence there also on that basis. Anyway I hope that the appeals which he has entered in California will be successful, and he can come out of jail and praise God for his mercy.
