Holy shit, this guy tried to slowly murder his co worker over a year of poisoning and he got 1 day in jail? California is so fucked.

But wait, there's more:

Yuan had sought nearly $500,000 in restitution but Xu was ordered to pay only a $7,058 restitution order.

He completed his probation earlier this year in March and is now asking the court to formally dismiss the felony conviction under California’s expungement statute.

Under California law, judges are bound to grant record dismissals to defendants who fulfill every term of their probation.

She must have had a shit lawyer as well. She got less than $7500 in restitution. ($500k was requested, and personally, that still seams small given the case.) That probably barely covered (if at all) her legal fees and days off of work, and thats not including the ones where she was dying from being poisoned.
