Ex-US diplomat to Guyana gets sentence reduced
Sunday, February 1, 2004
CHICAGO, USA: A former American diplomat convicted of selling hundreds of U.S. visas while stationed in Guyana was re-sentenced Friday to 6-1/2 years in prison.
In October, the 7th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals in Chicago ordered the re-sentencing of Thomas P. Carroll, a native of Evergreen Park, calling his original 22-year prison term "draconian." The court ordered that U.S. District Judge Blanche Manning's new sentence not exceed about 7 years in prison.
Carroll has already served almost four years in prison, said his attorneys, Steven Shobat and Terence Campbell.
