Monday, 28 November 2005, 21:58 GMT The top US court has rejected an appeal by a sentenced man, who argued about the legality of having to publicly wear a sign stating "I stole mail". The Supreme Court turned down Shawn Gementera's appeal without any comment. Gementera had argued that the measure would humiliate him, violating the Sentencing Reform Act and the constitutional ban on cruel punishment. He pleaded guilty to mail theft after being held in 2001 for stealing letters from mailboxes in San Francisco. Full story from the BBC |
