New York Slave Owners Found Guilty

The so-called Muttontown Slave Trial has involved a wild barrage of testimony by two Indonesian domestic workers employed — and according to prosecutors, enslaved and tortured for years — by an affluent Long Island couple. The verdict on Monday made for no less of a wild scene.

When it was announced that the jury in Federal District Court here had found the wealthy couple, Mahender Sabhnani, and his wife, Varsha, guilty, husband and wife stood dumbfounded and one of the couple’s three daughters fainted, according to authorities, and friends of the Sabhnanis.

Don't faint now; too bad your parents did not have any moral compass.
