In Key West, meanwhile, the Cuban fishermen who had touched off the whole incident by illegally entering U.S. waters went on trial before a Florida judge. The 25 crewmen were declared innocent since they were acting under orders. But the four captains of the fishing boats were found guilty of poaching, were each fined $500 (paid by the Czech embassy in Washington), and given suspended six-month jail terms. They were then put aboard their boats and sent home...
