Fake Degree Holder Gets Soft Sentence
.
Summary:
Poon might never have guessed that a seemingly unrelated corruption investigation would be his downfall: the credentials which he used more than once to secure government positions and enjoy $1.13 million total salaries from 2004 to 2013 were forged. In place of imprisonment under normal circumstances, however, the judge leniently sentenced him to 240 hours of community service after considering his remorseful attitude and the fact that he had repaid all the money.

Language Enhancement:
Remorseful (adj.)(懊悔的)
Remorse (n.)(懊悔)
這兩個字都帶有後悔和自責的意思,與 regret (n.) 和 regretful (adj.) 意思相近但語氣稍微正式。新聞報導中經常提到犯人在法庭上有沒有悔意,可以用此二字形容。remorseful 的用法是後接 for/about + N.。
e.g. Alex did not feel a shred of remorse when he took credit for his groupmates’ work.
e.g. The students were remorseful for a prank they pulled on their teacher, Ms. Wong, which ended up hurting her.
