Your Danish Cartoons Hangover Update: Geele Gets 9 Years

Mohammed Geele was sentenced earlier today to 9 years in prison. He was convicted Thursday on three charges related to a break-in on January 1, 2010 into the home of Danish Cartoons cartoonist Kurt Westergaard, an assault that he tried to convince the court was to scare the cartoonist rather than harm him. Geele forced his way into Westergaard's home with an axe, and attempted to hack down the door of a panic room to which Westergaard fled, one imagines according to the story the convicted man maintained in order to further scare the septuagenarian cartoonist.

The 29-year-old Somali man will be expelled from Denmark after serving his sentence.
