Talk about just desserts....A Missouri prison guard has been ordered to scrub toilets during his 15 day jail sentence that was imposed following his conviction for peeing on inmates.
Talk about a lame defense:
Hastings admitted during the trial that he knew prisoners were in the room when he and another jailer urinated through a roof grate.
A DNA expert testified that urine samples taken from the jail roof could be linked to Hastings. But defense attorneys contended there was no proof that Hastings' urine - and not the other jailer's - hit the inmates.
Greene County, Missouri has paid the four inmates $100,000.
