You may not remember the madness that was Ugueth Urbina's murder charges in Venezeula -- here's an old interview to refresh your memory -- but Urbina's trial is finally over, and it looks like he's going to be doing some time. Urbina was convicted of "illegal deprivation of liberty" and "violating a prohibition against taking justice into his own hands," and is set to do 14 years in prison. I'm not exactly an expert on the Venezuelan legal system, where Urbina was convicted, but I'm pretty sure that last charge isn't actually a charge, and I'm pretty sure that first one is the most vague statute I've ever heard of. I mean, my roommate just deprived my liberty by hogging the bathroom 15 minutes ago. That could really apply to anything.
Anyway, Urbina's jailtime stems from an altercation in which he allegedly confronted five dudes with machetes and then tried to pour gasoline on them, Reservoir Dogs-style. That's some heavy stuff.
Of course, Urbina's lawyer is none too happy with the verdict, but since I wasn't there, and know essentially nothing about Ugueth Urbina, I'm going to have to trust the vaunted Venezeulan judicial system, vague laws or not.
