A Chinese court on Tuesday sentenced American Sandy Phan-Gillis to three and a half years in prison and ordered her deported. Chinese officials accused Phan-Gillis of spying, a charge she and her family vehemently denied. Lawyer David Zhang, who represents Phan-Gillis, said the ruling could mean the Houston businesswoman will be headed home soon. The court did not specify when she might be deported, but it could consider her two-year detention as time served, making her eligible for parole.
