In Miami, a Cuban-American married couple was sentenced Tuesday in a case that saw them accused of spying for the Cuban government. Carlos and Elsa Alvarez are both employees at Florida International University. They were sentenced on reduced charges they received as part of a plea deal. Carlos, a professor, was sentenced to five years. His wife Elsa was given a three-year term. Both deny the spying charges and say they were trying to open dialogue with Cuba.
