A Minneapolis man who threw battery acid in his ex-girlfriend's face last year won't spend time behind bars if he remains law-abiding.
Before getting a stayed, 15-month prison sentence Wednesday, Jarso Yohannes Adem, 29, tried to withdraw his guilty plea to second-degree assault with a dangerous weapon, a felony.
He claimed he was not aware his conviction could cause him to be deported back to Ethiopia. The Minnesota Court of Appeals this week ordered that a man could withdraw his plea to simple robbery because he was not told of deportation risks.

Minnesota deserves to be over-run by Sharia-practicing Somali Muslims. It is suicidal.
This is truly the most horrible thing I’ve read in years. Not only is the guy getting off without jail, but WE have to pay for his treatment for the next three years.
And no reason is given as to why he is allowed to stay here illegally anyway!
And it states that he’s a mental case (my words), yet he’ll be free to do this again. Our country is SO SCREWED!
Those wacky Amish.
So he's not actually a Minnesota man. He's an Ethiopian. Is he here legally? Is he a Muslim who hates America and is here to participate in the ongoing Muslim effort to convert our nation to Islam? Just asking.
So a man who put some serious thought into how to permanently maim and destroy another person’t life; gets to walk free.
You just don’t stumble upon Sulpheric Acid accidentally; no, you must take some effort to obtain it from some source; the easiest being a car battery.
You must lift that 20lb black plastic cube, remove the lids, and carefully pour the contents into a container - being careful not to spill any, lest you destroy your table, carpet or clothes.
Then, you must approach your victim with this glass of acid; being careful not to spill it; and aim it such that it catches your victim full in the face - and HOPE that it gets in her eyes as well.
How can this be anything other than pre-meditated?
Minnesota deserves everthing it has gotten from embracing ‘Diversity’. Perhaps we can have some more women get thier genitals mutilated, maybe some beheadings; and if we are really lucky - some suicide bombers in the Mall of America.
Apparently the Libtards there are completely unaware that if you want more of a particular action, you reward it. In this case, a man PREMEDITATED a painful scarring on a woman; and is walking the streets a free man today - free to do the same thing at the slightest provocation.
Well it said she was not permanenty scared , but the intent was there, ship his butt out.
Hang the SOB in what he did to that poor woman.
Whatever happened to "ignorance of the law is no excuse."?
Through an interpreter, Adem expressed no remorse for the crime, saying Mohammed repeatedly lied to him.
he does that to a lot of people.
I doubt he's here illegally. We've been rolling out the red carpet and handing legal immigration visas by the truckload to sub-Saharan Africans for the last 20 years.
Have your ridden in a cab lately?
........that he wasn't given a university scholarship.
Silly, that only applies to US citizen taxpayers.
Apparently this is becoming acceptable to leftists in this country
Simple robbery? By that reasoning if I robbed a bank, I should be charged with no more than trespassing.
I understand the need to protect the rights of the accused, but the rights of the victim and the need to protect society should also be taken into consideration.
Oh, yes! VERY valuable. Fertizer gets more expensive by the day.
