(June 27)A millionaire and his wife will now both spend time behind bars for virtually enslaving two Indonesian housekeepers. Mahender Sabhnani (sahb-NAH'-nee) was sentenced to more than three years and four months in prison Friday. It comes one day after he tearfully watched his wife received an 11-year sentence.SOT: "We were expecting that judge will let him go but under the circumstances, based on the guidelines, he did his best, so, we are not disappointed but we accept, we accept what the judge says." Bharat Jotwani, friend of Sabhnani family Prosecutors said she was primarily responsible for inflicting years of abuse on the poorly educated servants. But the judge said Sabhnani was aware of what was happening in his Long Island, New York home.SOT: THE JUDGE SAID THAT Mahender DIDN'T DO ANYTHING AND I'M NOT SURE THAT YOU CAN BE CONVICTED OF THESE SERIOUS CRIMES FOR SIMPLY NOT DOING ANYTHING ELSE. SO THAT'S WHAT WE'RE GOING TO ADDRESS ON APPEAL AMONG OTHE RTHINGS Attorney Stephen Scaring During the trial, the victims testified they were beaten with brooms and umbrellas and slashed with knives for misdeeds including sleeping late or stealing food from the trash. The women also claim the couple took their passports so they couldn't flee. But one of the women did escape last May which eventually led to the Sabhnani's arrests. Sabhnani, who's originally from India, is an international perfume maker. He has grown children. ___ ___, The Associated Press.

Beating them for stealing food out of the garbage?

High dollars suits/clothes, late model SUV kids who live better than their employees?

These people are perfect examples of capitalism at it's best!

Most likely conservative Republicans too.

At law, an accomplice has the same degree of guilt as the person he or she is assisting, is subject to prosecution for the same crime, and faces the same criminal penalties. As such, the three accomplices to the bank robbery above can also be found guilty of armed robbery even though only one stole the money.

[hannahunney]

This man is guilty of collusion and of being an accomplice, and therefore subject to the same penalties as his wife, by law.

This s.o.b. could be a perfume maker from India but he and his wife smell like a rotten rat for their sadism. Watching or inflicting cruelty on another person or an animal is an unexcusable sin.

I am disgusted by these people...
