A lawyer for an Australian Rio Tinto executive says he will not appeal his 10-year prison sentence for bribery and commercial spying, according to AP. In a brief text message, lawyer Jin Chunqing said Stern Hu told him Thursday that he decided not to appeal. Thursday was the deadline for appealing the court's verdict announced March 29. Lawyers for three of Hu's Chinese coworkers who were also convicted on bribery and secrets charges said they had all decided to appeal their own sentences.
