Russia: Pastor Phillip Miles Saga Is Over!

Welcome to our website!

Seven years ago I met the most wonderful Russian woman in the world! What started as friends on the Internet per e-mails, became a dream come true for this American. I moved to Russia six years ago and have never one time in those years, did I wish that I had never moved to Russia. In fact, I have realized over the years that Russia is an incredible, fantastic and wonderfully explicit country to live and travel in. I have been lucky in many ways and meeting a normal Russian woman who does not want to leave Russia, that was a blessing in disguise as I was the one who had to make the decision to leave my country. It was a decision that I have never regretted and it opened my eyes to a whole world of new ideas and thinking's. So welcome to Windows to Russia and stay a spell, sip a cup of coffee...

Russia: Pastor Phillip Miles Saga Is Over!

Hello,

Looks like Pastor Phillip Miles Got A Lucky Break… Or, maybe it could have been -“The defense team provided letters from Russia’s human rights ombudsman and 62 members of U.S. Congress with requests for the cleric’s acquittal.” :)
——————————————-
MOSCOW, June 23 (RIA Novosti) – The Moscow City Court ruled on Monday to release a U.S. pastor from prison changing his earlier sentence of more than three years for illegally bringing ammunition in Russia to a 10-month suspended sentence.

Moscow’s lower district court sentenced Phillip Miles, 58, to three years and two months in prison in April for smuggling rifle rounds, declarable under Russian customs law, into the country for his Russian hunting partner.

Miles’s defense attorney appealed the ruling as “severe and inadequate” and sought his acquittal, citing an absence of criminal intent.

“Documents for his release will be sent to the detention center, and Miles will be released today or tomorrow,” the presiding judge said.

The defense team provided letters from Russia’s human rights ombudsman and 62 members of U.S. Congress with requests for the cleric’s acquittal.

I bet he does not bring hunting ammo for a friend anymore or better yet, he should stay in America, the Russian’s are Orthodox & very happy about being Orthodox. I am growing found of the Russian Orthodox myself & feel that it has better structure than the Christianity sects in America.

Good Luck Pastor Phillip Miles!
