Citizenship Process: Odeh and Plea Deal

citizenship process: Supporters travelled to Detroit from Chicago to pack the courtroom, and many were in tears later on the courthouse steps, according to Metro News. Odeh was convicted at trial in 2014 and sentenced to 18 months in prison, but the verdict was overturned. Rasmea Odeh, 69, will be deported to Jordan or another country in the months ahead. A second trial was planned in Detroit, the city where she went through the citizenship process in 2004, before she decided to accept a plea deal. He gave up and accepted her reply that she had admitted her crime in the court document. But even with the plea agreement, Odeh found it impossible to say the word guilty when repeatedly asked by U.S. District Judge Gershwin Drain. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
