"Serb gets 2-year term for N.Y. man’s beating" by Associated Press | September 15, 2010
BELGRADE, Serbia — Lawyers reached a plea bargain yesterday under which a Serb college basketball player charged with beating an American student into a coma would serve about two years in prison in his homeland, potentially ending a case that had strained relations with the United States.
Under the agreement, 23-year-old Miladin Kovacevic would plead guilty to the brutal beating of Bryan Steinhauer and be sentenced to two years and three months, with three months of that having been served already in the United States and Serbia....
Senator Chuck Schumer, a New York Democrat, said early yesterday that the punishment called for was too light....
What business is it of his anyway?

Go back to the sewer, Chuck.
Kovacevic was first charged in the United States. But he jumped bail and fled to Serbia, which refused to hand him over to the United States, citing local laws banning extradition.
Hillary Rodham Clinton intervened in the case, demanding Kovacevic’s extradition — first as a senator and later as secretary of state — as did Schumer.
The Serbian government eventually paid $900,000 to Steinhauer’s family as part of an agreement that also called for putting Kovacevic on trial in Belgrade.
In a statement yesterday, Schumer criticized the plea bargain. “The punishment does not fit the crime,’’ he said. “This was a dastardly deed that almost killed Bryan Steinhauer.’’
So what do mass-murdering war criminals who approve wars get, Chuck?
How many Bush administration officials have been prosecuted for torture?
Oh, right, Obama approved that.
