Judge says 3 months in jail are enough for Chinese scientist in US smuggling case
Chengxuan Han admitted to sending concealed biological research materials without proper permits, leading to her sentencing to time served and a $300 fine for three smuggling charges.
A young Chinese scientist, Chengxuan Han, was sentenced to time served for illegally shipping biological material to the U.S.
The judge acknowledged that federal agents have a role in stopping threats but said the material Han sent was not a threat.
Han, who was headed to a job at the University of Michigan, cried and expressed regret, saying her career would be destroyed when she returns to China.
