Cuba prison odyssey began with chilling look at death
Richard Peter Johnson, 25, and Phillip Burris, 32, were seized in Cuba after a one day flight turned four year ordeal. They faced a kangaroo court, years in crowded prisons, and meager rations before U S authorities arranged bail. Sentences of four years and fines followed, then release and return via Barbados to Miami where FBI agents awaited their arrival.
