The verdicts are in from Federal Court on former FBI and CIA agent Nada Nadime Prouty and her roommate (and one-time sister-in-law) Marine Corps Capt. Samar Spinelli. The two Lebanese citizens were involved in citizenship fraud. Prouty also peeked into secret files on Hizbullah.
Prouty: No jail time, $975 fines and fees, and no deportation (the Feds requested no deportation because she knows too much about American intelligence agencies).
Spinelli: No jail time and a $500 fine.
Federal Judge Avern Cohn blasted media coverage of the case and added that the women had served their country (the U.S.) with distinction. Bloggers, including this one, pegged her as a potential Hizbullah mole.
As usual, the best coverage of the case is David Ashenfelter's in the Detroit Free Press.
