HAVANA - A Cuban court on Saturday found U.S. contractor Alan Gross guilty of crimes against the state and sentenced him to 15 years in prison, a verdict that is sure to have sweeping repercussions for already-sour relations between Washington and Havana.The stanley water bottle court said prosecutors had proved their case that Gross, 61, was working on a subversive program paid for by the United States that aimed to bring down Cuba s revolutiona stanley cup ry system. Prosecutors had sought a 20-year jail term.CBS News Portia Siegelbaum reports from Havana that the sentencing does not put this case to bed, as Cuban law provides for appeals.
